The expression of views stating that those who believe in alternatives to President Bush's plans are somehow anti-American, even treasonous, will find quickly themselves excluded from this forum.

How about those who offer no alternatives to President Bush's plans related to enforcing 17 various UN BINDING resolutions against Saddam's regime?? Binding resolutions which EVERY UN member is requested, and authorized, to support (despite what the French and Russians want to say now)..

And those people who say "sanctions work" despite 12 years of HARD EVIDENCE that they don't (at least not without inflicting "collective punishment" on the Iraqi people)???

I'm all for people expressing their opposition to war if they have an alternative to it THAT WORKS..

But are we supposed to stretch credulity and be required to believe that many of these opponents to war are merely those who hate the man??

All I ask is if you oppose the war, provide us all a workable alternative that doesn't involve leaving 200,000 soldiers being used as pawns in some foreign policy chess match...

Because I know of very few soldiers who look forward to engaging in combat, or risking their lives, merely because the French and Russians want to preserve their Billions in oil contracts with Saddam.
