<<<If the U.S. war of aggression against Iraq succeeds, then the War Party will lead us into another and bigger war. It is better for us to learn our lesson, while our dead are in the thousands, rather than continuing to worship the Gods of War until our dead are in the millions.>>> GWB targeted Saddam , not Iraq. Assume Saddam targeted Bush (which he did). You would then say that Iraq started a war of aggression against America and that success of the Iraqi(Saddam) War Party would lead him into a bigger war elsewhere. Perhaps against Nato, or Russia, but more likely against Kuwait or Iran or ( which has been done) Has it not been better to stop Saddam and teach him a lesson before his own casualties amounted to millions ? (forgeting about how many he destroyed elsewhere) Sig@spintime.coom

You're saying you support the killing of American troops in Iraq in order to prevent some hypothetical more deadly war in the future. If the U.S. war of aggression against Iraq succeeds, then the War Party will lead us into another and bigger war. That's how a supposed "pacifist" justifies cheering on the violent actions of one side in a conflict - pre-emptive violence? Obviously, you're not a pacifist, just an opponent of American policy. And as I see it, your professed "pacifism" as nothing more than an attempt to don a fake mantle of moral superiority.
