damn that moral compass trick gets everyone doesn’t it? Let me see if I've lost my moral compass. Saddam Hussein has caused the deaths, rape, torture of hundreds of thousands of people. He continues to do so. His government has attacked Iraq's neighbours. He continues to seek WMDs and has chemical and biological weapons, which he has used against his own people. He supports terrorists abroad. There are lots of bad leaders, it’s just not practical foreign policy to go and blow up their countries. Where lies the logical conclusion of this strategy? War might be a Noble Cause, but it is beyond morality. A recent survey suggests Iraqis yearn for the US to invade and put the whole wretched bunch out of business. Who speaks for the children Frank - 40% of Iraqis at this point are below fourteen yrs old. Would you like to kill them yourself or would you prefer someone else to do it on your behalf. The survey looked like a sincere attempt, but it’s largely anecdotal, not very scientific, I posted it here. Message 18376480 Opposing an attack on Hussein and his government is a morally good thing? Morals have little to do with it and are overshadowed by the practical reasons as explained above. Opposing an attack on Hussein is not support for him and his regime? He says he takes heart from it and I expect he does. He has no heart, remember. So if bin laden wants this war as much as Bush does, does that mean supporting Bush is actually supporting bin laden. too bad the world is not a black and white place, when it is the problems are so much easier to sort out. edit: i see you linked the survey, interesting stuff.
