re: Is this war justified or not? **************** I certainly think it is. So we didn't find the WMD, and we turned Iraq into a bright blue bug zapper for terrorist activity, which isn't exactly what we originally had in mind. But we went in and kicked a destabilizing force in the Middle East out of power, and that needed to be done anyway. Filling the void is turning out to be rather tough, but in the long term I believe it's all worth it. Are you the last person on the Planet that is buying the BS? re: we turned Iraq into a bright blue bug zapper for terrorist activity We sure did, and those newly trained "terrorists" will spread throughout the Middle East... creating at least a generation of problems. re: But we went in and kicked a destabilizing force in the Middle East out of power, and that needed to be done anyway. Iraq was a secular stabilizing force, we turned it into the ultimate destabilizing force, a brand new Beirut or Palestine. At least in part it's the new Taliban Afghanistan, a suburb of Iran. You need a dose of reality... listen to the US Generals. It's exit strategy time... we are way past the winning the hearts and minds thing. The Iraqi's (85%) hate us and want us to leave asap. John

Al, Is this war justified or not? I certainly think it is. So we didn't find the WMD, and we turned Iraq into a bright blue bug zapper for terrorist activity, which isn't exactly what we originally had in mind. But we went in and kicked a destabilizing force in the Middle East out of power, and that needed to be done anyway. Filling the void is turning out to be rather tough, but in the long term I believe it's all worth it. I am really surprised. In recent months, you have implied that you do not think the war was justified......and no, I will not pull up those posts; you know what I am talking about.....and that you supported Bush for other reasons. Now you say that you think the war is justified. Why do you change your position so frequently? ted

That bug zapper is no better than the one in my neighbor's backyard.... But we went in and kicked a destabilizing force in the Middle East out of power, and that needed to be done anyway. Filling the void is turning out to be rather tough, but in the long term I believe it's all worth it. Ah yes, the "Mission Accomplished" debacle. B.S. Lots of talk about "rolling back Bush's tax cuts," but little talk about cutting spending, except for Iraq which, while significant, only represents a fraction of the deficit. Pretty easy to talk tough about cutting spending when it's the other guy's pet projects you are cutting. Well, a dem president handed over a fiscally sound US to bush, who proceeded to dismantle 8 years of good work. These things are cyclical. Adminstrations come and go...time is on the side of emancipation, and emancipation is not a strong suit of the current flock of republicans and their followers. Al
