    (You have to sing this one to the tune of 'When you're happy and you know it clap your hands') If you cannot find Osama, bomb Iraq. If the markets are a drama, bomb Iraq. If the terrorists are frisky, Pakistan is looking shifty, North Korea is too risky, Bomb Iraq. If we have no allies with us, bomb Iraq. If we think someone has dissed us, bomb Iraq. So to hell with the inspections, Let's look tough for the elections, Close your mind and take directions, Bomb Iraq. It's "pre-emptive non-aggression", bomb Iraq. Let's prevent this mass destruction, bomb Iraq. They've got weapons we can't see, And that's good enough for me 'Cos it'all the proof I need Bomb Iraq. If you never were elected, bomb Iraq. If your mood is quite dejected, bomb Iraq. If you think Saddam's gone mad, With the weapons that he had, (And he tried to kill your dad), Bomb Iraq. If your corporate fraud is growin', bomb Iraq. If your ties to it are showin', bomb Iraq. If your politics are sleazy, And hiding that ain't easy, And your manhood's getting queasy, Bomb Iraq. Fall in line and follow orders, bomb Iraq. For our might knows not our borders, bomb Iraq. Disagree? We'll call it treason, Let's make war not love this season, Even if we have no reason, Bomb Iraq.

          I'll be watching the news eagerly listening out for it. :) If anyone is going (to any of them worldwide), make sure you wear a CodeProject t-shirt and promote it as proof that people from different cultures can get along just fine without needing polyticks firetrucking it up. Maybe if world "leaders" stopped looking for the worst in everyone else and started looking for shared hobbies and favourite books, etc, we could all just get along... CodeProject.com brings world peace -- kind of catchy. :~

                  I've often wondered how we can possibly have a war in the Information Age. How could I go to war against India when I know Indians ? I guess that's one more reason Iraq is not online. Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002

                  Again, you can screw up a C/C++ program just as easily as a VB program. OK, maybe not as easily, but it's certainly doable. - Jamie Nordmeyer - 15-Nov-2002

Sometimes they are doing it for our greater good but in this case I'm not so sure. If they want a war, I think there are some more deserving targets to pick. But of course Iraq is the easy option, as we've already beaten them once in the last 13 years. The thinking must be that we'll have less bodybags coming home. Of course a traditional war against countries is useless at the moment, we should be spending the money on our police/intelligence services so that they can track down all those lunatic terrorists.

That's probably why Germany and France tried to build links between their citizens after WWII, after 3 Wars against each others in 70 years. Hundreds, if not thousands, of cities made partnership with a town on the other side of the borders. This direct relationship is an excellent idea, by generating contacts and exchanges between the people, from schools to sport and cultural associations. I don't think now a germano-french war could be possible anymore. Hatred is often caused by Ignorance.
