    I think it is still being bombed, because Bush cannot accept the fact that moslem extremists take over the country, now that Saddam does not fight them anymore. I read than while Saddam was ruling iraq, women didn't even wear headscarfs. Today the whole country is chaos, and moslem extremists are taking their chance to invade it. Iraq is a moslemic country, and the people should decide what they want: Theocracy (they understand it) or Democracy (something completely new to them). But Bush sees his reputation going to hell, because "our system for everyone" is the big label upon his war games. He cannot make his army leave iraq, without losing what is left of his reputation as "the world police". Why iraq was bombed at all, is not that eay to answer. There are several possible reasons. (1) The president's daddy could not defeat iraq. It was a second try. (2) Operation Iraqi Liberty ? (3) Somebody really believed that there had been any weapons of mass destruction. (4) New high-tech-weapons needed to be tested. (5) Thousands of other reasons. Nobody will ever know the truth. _________________________________ Vote '1' if you're too lazy for a discussion

According to this: http://www.fas.org/news/iraq/2000/09/iraq-000918.htm[^], it is assumed that Saddam is responsible for about 10.000 deaths since 1980. The minimum body count today, is 15.458, and that's just since the invasion. The coalition is still not reaching the number of tortured people though, but that's not from lack of trying.

        You mean "Why are people in Iraq setting off bombs to kill Iraqi civilians, Iraqi security forces, and Americans?" In the audiotape, a speaker identifying himself as Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - the leader of Iraq's al-Qaida affiliate - called candidates running in the elections "demi-idols" and said those who vote for them "are infidels." "We have declared a fierce war on this evil principle of democracy and those who follow this wrong ideology," the speaker said. "Anyone who tries to help set up this system is part of it" - a clear warning to both candidates and those who choose to vote. http://apnews.myway.com//article/20050123/D87PTPD80.html[^] Because democracy is incompatible with extremist views that Muslim people should be under a caliphate-ruled theocracy. ----------------------------------------------------- Empires Of Steel[^]

            Maybe you should ask why people are willing to brutalize each other to prevent the majority of the people in Iraq from having a say in their lives and their country's future. I can answer the question for you.... because Al Zarquawi and his kind would rather live under a totalitarian dictatorship than democracy. That means they are more than willing to bomb, behead, and kidnap to have their way. Uptight Ex-Military Republican married to a Commie Lib - How weird is that?

                Because US troops are stationed there, withdrawing them after all remaining infrastructure is shattered is likely to result in prolonged post-war-chaos, and would leave the US with no win but a whacko dictator replaced by another, the troops need to be defended, and dropping weapons of major destruction is integral part of any "modern" US warfare.

Since you ask, I'll tell you: You recorded a a shockingly inaccurate application for a video dating service over the episode of Family Ties where Mallory brings home her new boyfriend to meet her family but Steven and Elyse are shocked by his crude appearance and gruff manner. So I'm still a little pissed.

                    You're assuming I meant to do anything but plagarize "Family Guy" and "TV Tome?" I thought everyone would pick up on the Family Guy reference first thing, but I suppose I was too obscure. But, yeah, good job using Google. That's, uh, that's dedication for you. Yeah. :-D

                        Yeah, "Family Guy," it's a show that often does non-sequiters with references to 80's TV shows. I had just watched the one where Peter chooses the theme for the float contest to be "that episode of Different Strokes where Alex sees Emma in the shower" or something like that. Also, I used "Family Ties" because I don't remember any other TV shows from the 80s. Like I said, obscure. ;P

                            You think that was inappropriate? You must spend a lot of time being shocked by network TV.

                            What is "network TV"? The name sounds like a web broadcasting station. Is is somethink like ShoutCast with video? Never heard of it. _________________________________ Vote '1' if you're too lazy for a discussion

                              it also depends when you ask. the pro-war gang has gone through several reasons over the last 22 months. i'm not sure what the latest post-facto rationale is. Image Toolkits | Image Processing | Cleek
