Hussein may be a coward, but not nearly as much as the draft dodging chicken hawks who began this war. Most of them are Zionist fanatics, but how many of these people are risking their lives in Iraq. You can probably count the number on one hand.

In two posts I've gathered that you don't like socialism and you don't like Saddam. While I'm not a big fan of either, I'm still a little confused by your posts. Exactly what is it about socialism that you don't like? The reason I asked this is because in your first post, you went on to mention Nazism, which is RW authoritarianism - very different from socialism. As for Saddam/Iraq, I would be interested in why you think we went to war in Iraq? Since even Blair seems to now believe there were no WMDs telegraph.co.uk and since Bush has stated that there was no connection between 9-11 and Iraq, and there are other authoritarian regimes just as bad as Saddam's (e.g. Myanmar), why Iraq? So far you have given the impression of having some strongly held opinions, and I'm just curious about their underlying basis, so to repeat: 1. What is it about socialism that you don't like? 2. Why do you think we went to war in Iraq? Please be as specific as possible in both cases. Anticipating your reply, thanks in advance. lurqer Edit: I now see you have made a third post, but I would still appreciate any answers you could provide. Thanks again.
