Fear of terrorism is not a valid reason to do or not do anything.


Ultimately my point here is that this war is way to complex for simple jingoistic rhetoric to even come close to dealing with the the gravity of the situation, for all involved.


Very well put.

Personnaly, I still don't have enough information to form an educated opinion. All I do know is that there are so many conflicting reports, that I don't know what to believe.

It doesn't matter much anyway whether I want us to go to war or not. The fact is we are at war, and it's not going to stop until Sadam is out of power, or more likely, until he is dead.

If our goal is to get Sadam and his sons out of power, then it might have been better to just assassinate them. It would save us the cost of rebuilding what we destroy.
Yeah, yeah. I know we don't have assassins. Whatever.

I imagine that our goal is a little more than just getting Sadam out of power. We'll probably end up installing a democratic government there when we are through. Hopefully the new Iraq will become as stable as Germany or Japan did after we were done with them.

I do hope that the war goes quickly for everyone's sake, with a minimum of civilian deaths.

For those of you who haven't seen it yet, here is a bit of interesting reading straight from baghdad.
