Each of us could lob hypotheticals at each other, and I don't think it would do anything but heighten an already emotional difference of opinion.

Americans are of mixed sentiments about the idea of our invading Iraq at this point. It has nothing to do with intelligence or patriotism, everything to do with a simple difference of opinion about something complex and deeply important.

Why not colonise Pakistan instead? They've got nukes too, and more terrorists than Iraq ever had. Oops, no oil.

Get it in to that tiny, tiny mind... there is no connection whatsoever between Iraq and the Twin Towers destruction. Colonising Iraq will do nothing to change that: and nothing to the "War on Terror" - except deepen it for all of us, even you in your smugness.

Caught any good Osama recently? Stabilised Afghanistan nicely, have we?

BTW, I'd have more respect for the imperialists if any of them were going to be on the front lines themselves. Instead of sending innocents to die for Halliburton's next contracts.
Why you voted these fraud-loving crooks in... penance?
