>>>1.) Do you think Saddam Hussein should be removed from power?<<<< Wow, Doug, very good. You answered correctly. After all this time you and PartyTime finally figured that out. Most likely solely because you and PartyTime see that the war will result in a quick victory, and after all, you want to seem to have been on the right side of the issue of Saddam's removal. P.S. see the movie "The Sting." It is called past posting. That means that you are for the war. Because under: 4.) Do you think greater diplomatic efforts to gain support from Arab nations in the region would have been beneficial in an effort to remove saddam? 5.) Do you think greater diplomatic efforts to gain support from other nations around the world would have been beneficial in an effort to remove saddam? no matter how much they jumped up and down and told Saddam that they were like really way wicked mad, there is no enforcement power other than war. The U.S. tried that approach Doug, they offered him the opportunity to leave the country. Saddam did not accept that opportunity. Try again Doug.
