KLP, you seem to be making the case that waging the war is worse than not waging the war.

Regarding the evidence the US and Brits have produced thus far, there has been too many instances of doctored documents, plagerized accounts and showing materials which are open to interpretation. Indeed, the beef has not been shown.

And don't you think that this fact helps accounts for 80-90 percent of world opinion opposing this war? The only factor truly supporting this is Bush's base. Go ahead--ask around and see what kinds of responses you'll get.

What is now known, that wasn't known when Bush and his radical fundamentalists in the White House began this war campaign, is that Saddam's own son, the one who defected and was later killed by him, told US and British intelligence that Saddam indeed buried, in 1991, the list that Bush, Blair and Powell rattle off when attempting to make their case.

This site is now under review by the UN weapons inspectors and more is to be reported about it later this week. Will Bush wait for that report, or will he begin the bombing before it can be released?

Yes, they'll be thousands of times more deaths than what America saw on 9/11; they'll be grave health effects among children in the aftermath of this war; they'll be tremendous environmental damage; and the emotional pain and havoc that we're already today experiencing will worsen.

On top of this, like Hitler managed to do in the League of Nations, Bush seems apt at doing in the United Nations. If the US moves past Iraq, into Iran and into Syria, killing off political enemies will the US itself become much like the Saddam it is trying to depose?
