Millions of children under the age of 5 have been murdered by the despotic Iraqi regime. I can see how that wouldn't concern someone like you ... no effect on YOUR "CAPITAL". How many children do you have Lizzie... Let me answer ... NONE... well not counting the aborted ones. YOU can just drop the fake concern about other people's children. We know its only YOUR purse you are concerned about.

Maybe Wolfie, Bush and Cheney should deploy all their kids to the frontlines in Iraq. This elective war WAS NOT necessary...There was no 'imminent threat' and many insiders are saying that intelligence was manipulated to take us into a war with Iraq. IMO, this is MUCH WORSE than anything Nixon ever did. news.independent.co.uk <<...An unprecedented array of US intelligence professionals, diplomats and former Pentagon officials have gone on record to lambast the Bush administration for its distortion of the case for war against Iraq. In their view, the very foundations of intelligence-gathering have been damaged in ways that could take years, even decades, to repair. A new documentary film beginning to circulate in the United States features one powerful condemnation after another, from the sort of people who usually stay discreetly in the shadows - a former director of the CIA, two former assistant secretaries of defence, a former ambassador to Saudi Arabia and even the man who served as President Bush's Secretary of the Army until just a few months ago. Between them, the two dozen interviewees reveal how the pre-war intelligence record on Iraq showed virtually the opposite of the picture the administration painted to Congress, to US voters and to the world. They also reconstruct the way senior White House officials - notably Vice-President Dick Cheney - leaned on the CIA to find evidence that would fit a preordained set of conclusions. "There was never a clear and present danger. There was never an imminent threat. Iraq - and we have very good intelligence on this - was never part of the picture of terrorism," says Mel Goodman, a veteran CIA analyst who now teaches at the National War College. The case for accusing Saddam Hussein of concealing weapons of mass destruction was, in the words of the veteran CIA operative Robert Baer, largely achieved through "data mining" - going back over old information and trying to wrest new conclusions from it. The agenda, according to George Bush Senior's ambassador to Saudi Arabia, Chas Freeman, was both highly political and profoundly misguided...>>

Well, no one likes to see their children or even themselves in "Harms Way" but the USA didnt come into existence by being timid. If you would ONLY look at the big picture, you would see that IF Bush and his team is successful in pulling this off and establishing a Democracy right in the center of the Middle East EVERYONES children HERE will be safer. Terrorists CANNOT be reasoned with. They can only be destroyed and their sources of supply destroyed. If Iraq is successful I predict the other Islamic Nations which breed terrorists and fund terrorists will fall like ripe plums and maybe even in your lifetime you will see a Middle East striving to enter the 21st century as a full and productive partner to the world. Think about it and all that would mean to EVERYONES CHILDREN. jdn
