However, I still believe that the good guy should do it the good way, even if it's harder - "If you look into the abyss, the abyss will look into you." And if the US wants to become the "world ruler" they betetr do it the good guy's way, or people will take up arms against them just because it's them, and it will all end in an ugly mess.

When we went there in '91 there was no reasonable doubt that it was the right thing but this, it disturbs me for many reasons. The word abbreviation is awfully long for what it means.

            Invading a country for a "might" is perhaps for you a good reason, it's not in my opinion.

I might get in an automobile accident, thats a bigger "might", and the reason I wear a seat belt. It doesn't keep me from driving but I try to manage the risk. Sadaam Hussein has used WMD and still has them. Terrorists have actually been found to be investigating using chemical weapons (in Afghanistan). The idea that SH "might" use WMD (its already happened) or "might" give them to terrorists is to large of a "might" for someone who wishes to truly be free. If I was still young enough to re-enlist in the military, its something I could fight for. So yeah, its a big enough "might" for me.

                May I be picky again? Who grants the US the right to propaganda Iraq this way (it's already going on for days, if not weeks, mind you)? Imagine ANY country (be it Canada) to drop leaflets near an US Army base, recommending them to surrender.

During '91 thousands of Iraqi troops surrendered, I think the hope is to try to get the military to realize that the US wants SH and his henchmen, not a fight with them.

I think the US government has shown that killing people (whether innocent or not) is the last thing it wants to happen. I hope that Saddam values his life enough to step down and allow the US to take over without the need for war. However, I say that death is a natural part of war. It's not a good thing, but it happens. It's like driving in a car. You risk injury or loss of life, yet it doesn't stop you from getting in a car to get somewhere relatively fast. That's how war should be viewed. Our objective is to change the regime, and to get there we risk losing human life. It's just the way it goes. Regards, Alvaro

I do feel the original post in this thread was inappropriate though - hence my post.## Alvaro Mendez wrote: I hope that Saddam values his life enough to step down and allow the US to take over without the need for war. Fat chance. Tyrants like him are usually clever enough to know that there's nowhere to give up if they leave - justice will catch them eventually if they do. He'll do anything he can to cause mass bloodshed rather than leave. :(( Anna :rose: Homepage | My life in tears
