Well, I was JUST SAYING. You know? There are a lot of stupid people that believe the stupidest things
Don't be so harsh with the American people, please.
So does this justify starting a war with iraq?
Sometimes I think there aren't many people around anymore like me. What am I like? I'd rather die myself than killing someone, for whatever reason.....
If you think about this issue in this way, why do you even bother to read/comment on this forum? This forum is about just that what you think is unnecessairy: discussing the motivation of this war. Your reasoning "the war has already started, let's hope it's over soon so the troops can come home" isn't exactly the most intelligent remark I've read here. If I'd start a war right now with some country, for no reason, you'd also react like that? You dó have an opinion about wether this war is right or not don't you?
My personal opinion in this mather is, no war (or any act of violence) is in any case justified. Saying 'he started it, now I can strike back mommy!' is just so childish. Like I said before, I'd rather die myself than killing someone else, for whatever reason.

Unfortunetly, I guess we have to start with you. I hereby declare you one of the stupidest people in this planet
Now now.. don't generalize (sp). It is obvious that if you aren't American, you are stupid!! You can call me all the names you like though, I like to kick them to /dev/null.
I'd stopped arguing "for or against" a long while back, Lyzel. I still don't support the war, but there is no point in debating it with you.
What I'd been doing is trying to get you to question - to think about - the reasoning behind the war. Thus far you have demostrated no ability to comprehend what this war might actually mean in terms of casualties, finances and the ever elusive "regional stability". The reality of the situation has not yet dawned on you - it may never. Shame really.

The problem is that your standard - as well as your Government's - is somewhat contradictory.
Q: Why is America trying to kill Saddam?
A: He abuses basic human rights.
A: He ignores UN resolutions and has broken a lot of them.
A: He has WMD.
Q: And Israel? Currently an ally, who have ignored so many resolutions? What about China's human rights record? North Korea? South-east Asia? Zimbabwe?
A: ...
Q: What about the other countries with WMD?
A: ...
My question is why Iraq? Why now? You do not ask these questions. If you support an act of agression, you should ask yourself why.

I didn't insult anyone, it just seemed logical to me that you were talking about 60% people who thought war was justified. Having family in America (with American nationality) and knowing their principles, I had to tell your judgement was harsh...
No, just because you disagree with what the United States is doing, does not mean that they are wrong. They have their reasons. I support them, just because I think that by taking out Saddam, the Iraqi people will be able to enjoy the freedom that most of us share. You may disagree with that views, but there they are for you. Does that makes me wrong? No. Does that makes you wrong? No. We have different views. And that's just great.
Yup, a lot of it has to do with those reasons, but it also has to do with the security of the United States. There are terrorists organizations in Iraq, like Ansar Is islam (sp). They are possible links that they are connected with bin laden. The United States does not want to wait for another Sept 11.
I agree, but well this is about Iraq.
Please read what I said above.
Thanks.
