Wait a second, those who WANT war, want terrorism, Karen. We've had no attacks within our borders, but Colin Powell guarantees that if we attack Iraq, there will be terrorist attacks in droves in this country. It's called blowback and he expects a lot. And what are we going to do. WE are sitting ducks because Bush has sent our troops off to the ME. Do you ever pause to think about the ramifications of starting a war everyone is against. Calling people names because they don't want to start a war, that once started cannot be taken back. As some other poster wrote, Saddam hasn't been capable of doing anything since we bombed him back in 91. We are certainly not going to Iraq to help the people. The hatred for Islam, Muslims ME folks is rampant. They know that those in the US who want war have no intention of helping them. I don't want our brave soldiers killed, I don't want those poor people killed.

Here's what a liberated Afghani woman thinks of us: When asked that the Americans are liberating them, she replied: "Yes, the Americans killed my dear Agha Gul and my sweet boys, that's how they liberated me. They are heartless people" It is interesting when President Bush talk about liberating Afghan women. This comes from the President of a country, where horrors are committed against women everyday. Sue Davis writes in her essay "US no model for women's liberation" and points to the United States as a country: "in which four women are killed every day by their husbands or boyfriends. Spousal killings make up 12 percent of the society's total murders. Nine out of 10 murdered women are killed by men. Four out of five of them are murdered at home. And 50 percent of those women are murdered by a male partner" The fraud that the US government calls 'the war on terror' has been nothing but murder of innocent women and children.
