The following excerpts are from this article: msnbc.com "Americans believe a war against Iraq would have serious consequences at home, the poll shows. Sixty-six percent say it would create serious divisions between the United States and its allies. Seventy-eight percent say Iraq would retaliate by using biological or chemical weapons against American targets. And 82 percent believe the war would inspire terrorist attacks against American citizens. " Yet: "Still, American support for using military force against Iraq remains strong, at 70 percent, with 67 percent of Americans polled advocating the use of air strikes and 59 percent in support of sending in large numbers of ground troops to ensure control of Iraq." WHAT IN HECK IS BETWEEN THE EARS OF THOSE THAT WERE POLLED!

<< ... he's ALLEGED to offer sending money to the families AFTER they're dead. >> Alleged? You even wrote ALLEGED in all caps. Why? You interested in protecting The Butcher of Baghdad's honor? You're quick to condemn Bush, but deliberately try to protect Saddam's reputation? Your logic sounds a little warped, to me. << ...that's providing for a family of someone who makes a stupid mistake. >> A stupid mistake? Many terrorists Palestinian families raise their children to be suicide bombers. Once again, you are quick to provide support and comfort to the worst of the world, and eager to find fault with those that want to protect the world's freedom and democracy.
