Siding with Saddam just to oppose bush.

How did you arrive at that conclusion? To oppose "war" is not the same as supporting Saddam.

The UN estimates that there will be 500,000 Iraqi casualties if the US attacks. Most of them will be innocent Iraqi civilians and many children. That's too high a price to pay just to get one guy.

And we will inflame and radicalize the entire Muslim world of one billion. Do we want to be involved in a perpetual cycle of hatred and killing?

The war is opposed by the rest of the world. We will kill our economy, which is already in a coma, if we go to war without UN authorization. You will see global boycotts of our products as people vent their frustration on American companies.

As it is, our economy is dying from the uncertainty of the war as businesses hold back investment and consumers cut back on spending seeing the economy slowing.

If not for decency and justice, then for our own security and prosperity, we should let UN inspections work. We help create and nurture this evil. We don't want to compound this evil by killing innocent Iraqis.

You people will destroy the democratic party.

As for the Democratic party, if it does not act in the interests of the nation then it will meet its well deserved fate. And the same fate awaits the Republican party if it fails this nation. Instead of propping up a decrepit political system, let evolution work its magic.
