I can only thank our good fortune that leaders of the world are not sentimental slobs who wage war on each other on the basis of their perception of how the other country's people are unhappy.

As for you - Do you have another reason why Iraq should be invaded, or is "Ooooh poooooor Iraqiis!" your only argument?

If so, can I persuade you to let me in peace and go pester someone else with just how unhappy Iraqis are?

If not, I am still waiting for a rational argument for why war with Iraq is necessary and how it is going to help make the world a safer place for Americans from you.

obviously that has no meaning for you.

I care for suffering people. Not only those in Iraq, but also those in various parts of the world of whom you have no idea because your media has not started using them yet.

Yet, it is not sufficient reason to invade a country, killing thousands of those poor suffering Iraqis in the process. If they are not happy, then they should perhaps do something about it. We should help them, definitely, with financial & military aid, also with support once they have ousted Saddam.

However, invasion and years of occupation is another ball game. One for which you have made NO CONVINCING ARGUMENT WHATSOEVER.
