there is no nice way to put this: since i don't care enough about the suffering in iraq to risk my own life, it would be hypocritical for me to ask some mother's son to do the "caring" for me. iraq is not a threat to me or to mine and on the current roster of Team Tyrant saddam barely deserves a place on the bench. you want maximum humanistic bang for the buck, let's deal with the daily genocide going on in africa. if blair and shrub wanted to deal with real issues instead of perpetually acting like apologists for the saudi royal family i would whole-heartedly support dealing with the real terrorists sitting in riyadh. not only would that be justified from a 9-11 perspective, it would imo greatly improve chances of some kind of rationality returning to the israel-palestine situation. the fact that both shrub and blair are outright lying to build "support" says all i need to hear about how weak their arguments really are. lies are not necessary if the truth is clear. all just one man's opinion.

I hope Bush and Blair have the fortitude to go against public opinion if the public prove themselves naive enough to produce an anti war majority. Unfortunately for Bush et al., anti-war sentiment runs a bit deeper than that. It's most of the World that opposes this war, not merely the American public. That has to mean something even to a person as dense as Bush. best... LIG

Steve, when will the Iraqi's gather their OWN courage to overthrow Saddam. Steve i remain believing with great intensity you are way off base here and at this point the fact you don't live in the U.S. i feel you are showing signs of being extremely naive yourself about this country of ours. i like Blair and i hope he has the good sense to gather up his fortitude and guts and tell the british he was wrong and he has been just a pawn in the U.S. game of rampant world imperialism. This war is NOT about the idealistic act of removing Saddam(which the Iraqis themselves could do if they really wanted to just like the Romanians got rid of Ceausescu) It is ABOUT CONQUEST of the entire Middle East. The U.S. by already admitting to a 5-year occupation of Iraq is really waving a red flag that they are likely heading towards making the M.E. a colony. Steve do you really want Britain to be the 51st state of the U.S.??? Maybe you do, i don't know. Max p.s. What OUTRAGED the Turkish was America's overwhelming arrogance such as in the DEAL for our making Turkey a base it included a clause the all U.S. personnel could eat and drink in Turkish eating places FREE OF CHARGE. They said, who the hell does the U.S. think we are, their Colony. One historian is stating that never in history has there been such an powerful rise in hatred against the U.S. That american tourists have reported being harassed or challenged and some spat upon--this was in Tuesday's U.S.A Today. Now from your view the U.S. then must be doing something right and proper and the rest, such as i, are bloody naive fools. O.K. Max USA Today usatoday.com
