<<< what is the real reason for this war? Oil? Revenge for Saddam surviving the first Gulf War? Israel? The ordinary
Americans I know are wondering, because the reasons stated by the administration just don't add up.
Military theory says that, in a democracy, a government cannot successfully wage war unless the war has popular support. In turn, a war cannot obtain popular support if the people do no understand why it is being fought. Today, the people, at home as well as overseas, do not understand why America wants to go to war with Iraq. That is an ominous though so-far disregarded omen for President George W, Bush and his senior advisers. It means they are losing this war before the first bomb is dropped.>>>
Mr Lind is confused
Let me make it crystal clear why we are going to eliminate Saddam.
1. GWB is above of all a family man- twin daughters, and Politics be damned, he has only two years to try
to ensure that they and all other Americans, are not plagued or killed by Terrorists actions for the entire remainder of the 21 st Century. He will gladly, if necessary, give up a 2nd term to do that.
Is there something here that people cannot understand? Something immoral? Something illegal?.
2. We are under attack by a declared war by people who have sworn our destruction
3. VX has been used in a Japanese subway, Anthrax has been used on the East coast. The WTC is gone.
Who has VX, Saran, and Anthrax and a means of delivery and are they for use inside his own borders.?
Saddam. He will not give them up as directed by the UN . We will take them away
4. The President has a sworn duty to protect and defend this country and has been granted by Congress the right to use whatever force it takes.
