I think fighting violence with more violence is ultimately wrong. If the US stayed out of other countries business this would not be as big of a problem in the first place.



Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut.........that's just my opinion

Bush just wants to be all big and bad like his daddy (Bush Sr. brought us Desert Storm, remember? The war the liberated the oil in Kuwait. Oops..I meant the people). He has appearantly forgotten that Bush Sr. only lasted one term. Hehe.


I personally think that his REAL motivation for the whole 'war on terror' was to make everyone forget how he 'won' the election. *ugh*

What do I think?

I don't think it can ever be actually won, but the chances of certain kinds of attack can be affected with appropriate action. I happen to think Bush and Blair are doing the best job that can be expected.

Oh, and Nixter, isolationism is the least realistic thing to hope for. All that does is allow the world's enemies to swell to maximum size before the inevitable happens. Hitler wouldn't have gone any farther than Poland if it wasn't for isolationizm being his best ally.

Peace is worth hoping for, but don't expect it to just land in your lap. Sometimes it has to be fought for. Sometimes the world politics is no more complicated than managing schoolyard bullies. Ignoring them fuels them.

But, the whole "mind our own business" point of view does not work, but naturally neither does butting in to everything. There-in lies the fine line. But what I'm sick to death of is America being blamed for everything. When there's inhumanity anywhere, everyone blames us. When we try to fix it, everyone blames us. We leave it alone, everyone blames us. We get it done right, the thanks we get is the bill for reparations. We try to mind our own business again, the outcries of America ignoring more plight around the world accuses us of not caring. When we finally try to do the right thing, we're accused of taking too long or going too fast.

I'm sick of everyone coming to us for their problems, rage, pleas, begging, attacks, blame, etc.

The world could work a lot harder ignoring us like they claim we should them. God knows how much of my tax dollars go to representing the interests of the least grateful corners of the earth.

A funny thing I've always noticed about the kind of respect America never gets is when Americans go abroad we're expected to do things their way, but when anyone comes to America we're STILL expected to do things their way.

It's becomming too acceptable to snub America I think. Every imperfection is drug out into the light and shamed at full strength, every good is shrugged off as "the least they can do".

SO, what do "I" think about the war on terror? I think when it's finally time for the rest of the civilized world to take a stand beside the one that's always come to their aid it becomes clear just how thanked we're not and how we'll just have to take care of business for our own good.

But regardless whatEVER we do... we'll get the blame.

Isolationism? I was just refering to all the rebel armys and such our goverment has helped out in the past. Sure, some of them probably had just causes...but...well...Sadam Hussen(sp?) was once an ally. Maybe you're heard of him, he's the reason we're gonna start WWIII.

I just think there were some things we really didn't need to get involved in. It's probably too late now tho on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill onlineabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

We start?

We?

Look, this is not a NEW war. This is the conclusion of the last one that Saddam started.

Saddam invaded a peaceful country. Nato says to get him out. We do. We accept his surrender. His surrender (as legislated by NATO) applies that if he's expected to stay in power he must not have W.M.D.'s. Later on, he gets all Mr. Tough Guy and kicks out Nato and it's inspectors. At THAT point, Clinton (the REAL idiot) should have levied Nato to inforce it's own rule of law. Not until 9-11 does it become clear that we cannot ignore any more threats and that Nato no longer has the luxury of ignoring Iraq's defiance of it's law. Hussein was ruling (as far as Nato's own conditions of his surrender) illegally. Bush, being a non-idiot is making Nato live up to it's own clout. And if Nato is too mamby-pamby to do it... well, you get the idea.

So, since this is basicly speaking taking care of a convicted thug who's broken his own probation and the cops are too weenie to take care of it, somebody else has to. And just because Hussein had the fortune of getting a second chance instead of being taken out of power the first time around doesn't mean WE have to face the inaccurate label of "starting this one".

...but of course... NOBODY can blame poor little Nato... cute widdle ting.

And another "of course", if we turned a blind eye to Hussien and his defiance of the civilized world, America would STILL get the blame when he turned the western hemisphere into one smoldering crater.

Thank God we have Bush.

Oh, and yes, it is too late now. We have no direction to go now but forward. And sitting down and saying "I'm out" at this point is suicide.

But, we're in no danger of really agreeing with each other on this. As you said that it's ultimately wrong to fight violence with violence, you probably don't think we had any business using force to rescue Kuait from raping and murdering either, so that's as close as we're likely to agree.

As Mark Davis, a national talk show host said, "anyone who's categorically writting off the war as wrong is just putting on blinders of moral over-simplification that does not work in the real world." Well said. Not only does it not solve anything concerning our global enemies but in fact is exactly what they are counting on.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online abortion questions cytotec abortion

I have to agree with both of your post Jedi! The War on Terrorism will never end and was not started just by the US.
And isolationism is not a good thing, and some people might actually get suspicious like people now are of Iraq and Saddam Hussein. I believe that the war on terrorism is a just cause and without violence and action peace could never be attained. Terrorists throw away their lives just to put a dent in the US infrastructure and their pride, what they don't understand is that in some of us it puts more pride and honor to be living in this country. They don't like us because they don't live like we do, but instead of trying to attain our worldly status, they try stupid stunts to try to get rid of us. They don't stop at throwing their lives away so why should they stop at just peace talks. My dad is in the Air Force and served in Desert Storm, he even says that he would go back and risk his life just to stop them. Freedom is not without sacrifice, I know I would sacrifice my life to help attain freedom for all because everyone should have the right to be free. The War on Terrorism is the only way the world will have peace in the end!

Oh yeah, and about the nuclear weapons in Iraq, I have only one question:

What happened to the underground bunkers Saddam Hussein hid in during the Gulf War?

Well stated, shorty99.

As far as the bunkers are concerned, he surely still has them. Only, they didn't actually protect him in the Gulf War. We just didn't get close enough on the ground to make any difference in that regard. THIS time however, we will and he'll need a lot more than a rats nest to protect him.

There is something we all can hope for though, that Saddam goes into exile, saving both sides unwanted loss of life. Unlike what most peace-advocates incorrectly insinuate of us, as a war supporter, I still hope the least loss of life for the Iraqis as well. I hope they just repeat last time and just surrender and let us get to their country's cancer, Saddam. There's a lot worth hoping for without the undue expense of settling for Saddam's continued threat to everyone, in and outside his borders, but if any of his forces choose to defend his tyranny against global civilization, let the best man win.order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pill

I agree with you yet again. Within 24 hrs. of the ground war in Iraq, they surrendered. And I also think that anyone that should happen to help him should be exiled along with him, millions of mistreated people against a few Hussein supporters is a big difference!on line abortion pill misoprostol dose abortion medical abortion pill online

*just checking MSNBC*

Well, now that it's mere weeks or days away from military action, it's no surprise that Iraq is relenting in carefully measured ways.

Saddam doesn't do what is expected of him by the measure of what's good and right... he doesn't even do what's expected of him by the terms of his Gulf War surrender... he doesn't even do the worst he can manage to get away with... what he DOES do is the worst he can manage to get away with that he thinks we haven't got the guts to call him on.

Well, the jerk is ruling his final days. Good riddance. He thinks just because he's managed to stay in power by carefully keeping the line drawn RIGHT at where he thinks our maximum level of tollorance is doesn't mean it's gonna get him outta this one. He's underestimated Sept. 11 and it's meaning to us... that we no longer have the luxury of blowing off those who swear to be our enemies anymore.

And thank God the safety of my family doesn't rest on the shoulders of the war protestors. If it weren't for Bush, nothing would be getting done.

(Soup Nazi's voice) HEY SADDAM!! NO KISS ON SHOULDERS FOR YOU! TWO WEEKS!

He should have thought twice about what he did to Kuwait. Bonehead.

*"debate" with Bush? Give me a break! What a nutcase!*

Yeah it won't be long. Down here the trains that go trough town have been transporting Militaty vehicles vehicles galore the past few days. Seeing those Hummers and such being transported really gets your attention on the current reality. Seeing those vechiles on the endless line of railcars going through my home town sent a cold chill down my spine.

I pretty much agree with what JediUnit has to say. The world has become too intertwined to simply ignore aggressive leaders. Who can defend a man like Saddam who tested chemical weapons on his own people? That's a crime against humanity.

I will certainly acede that World politics is a messy business and that we have supported allies in the past who are now our worst enemies. But we are here, now. And decisions must be made in regards to crazy people who can do major damage to other parts of the world. There is no excusing the act of war that was taken on Sept 11th.where to buy abortion pill http://blog.bitimpulse.com/template/default.aspx?abortion-types buy abortion pill onlineabortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

Saddie Hussy isn't the threat.
North Korea is. You know, they have a nuke program and it's very illegal?
Plus, they have other countries upset at them.
North Korea needs to be DEAL WITH first!

'sides, hard to go to war on terrorism when we need to deal with terrorism problems in this country. Yeah, we have bigots and freaky people terrorizing people in this country daily... all the extremists (sp?) out there.

How are we going to resolve the war with terrorism if we can't fix the problems in our our home? Eh?
Plus, there is North Korea... don't tell me you guys that you forgot about North Korea!
I know that if we make the wrong move, North Korea will basically nuke someone, but if we don't do something about North Korea, they will nuke someone.
*spasms*
Lovely how Bush wants to go after Saddie Hussy but is running like a little girl from North Korea's dicator who has a god-awful haircut. -.-

I agree whole-heartedly that North Korea is a bigger problem. But, it's a simple matter of picking our battles and the order we should take them in. It'll be a WHOLE LOT easier taking care of the big problem when it's basicly the only one left. Iraq first. Korea second. It's a common war college sentiment to go for the weakest link first. Simple logic.

Also, just because we're taking care of big, more visible problems abroad doesn't mean anyone's claimed to have taken care of all the domestic ones. The deal about how Iraq and other radical countries fit into the anti-terrorism campaign is that "you can't eliminate all the threats, but you can take care of the biggest ones." The deal is we can't weed out the terrorists that are here now and laying low and we can't do anything about the weapons they may already have, but what we CAN do is what we MUST do... to separate the ultimate weapons from the kinds of nutty leaders of countries that can manufacture WMD's from the terrorist would love to get their hands on them. Terrorists can't exactly make WMD's on their own, they require the kinds or resources only an entire countries economic power can produce. No crazy leaders, no WMD's for the terrorists.

Simple.

But don't be surprised if Korea DOES get involved in the action against Saddam simply on the pretext that they know they're next and won't want to do it alone. To that risk, Powell said, "no problem. We've taken care of two theaters in one war before, we can do it here too with complete success as well."

Sounds like a "bring it on" to me. I couldn't agree more.

We live in a time that pretty much nobody can wish away global threats anymore. Maybe you and I can "break our ten foot poles and walk away" but the United States as a whole simply cannot and expect to exist much longer.

The truth the anti-war folks need to face up to is there's far worse things that can happen than to be forced into a war that we know is eventually unavoidable. Far worse things.

Thank God almighty the one's that are calling the shots for us are doing what needs to be done and not what we wish could be done because we just wish the world was a more peaceful place, but it's not. The difference between "need" and "want" is nearly the same distance as "right" and "wrong."

Oh, and I don't doubt that Bush looks mamby-pamby to Iraq and Korea. Who cares? They better be more careful how they paint a picture of the one that will eventually clean all their clocks concidering how they'll make themselves look in the end. No matter. This isn't a war of "how we look". The meaning will become clear to them soon enough though.
