Should the U.S. have began started the current war in Iraq

and the typical oil cop out.

actually,the world is undergoing a huge push forward in the direction of democracy.intercepted letters show a falling in support and funding for these murderers.

like i always say,you have more people in LA and New York protesting the war than you do in afghanistan,iraq,ukraine,egypt etc. etc..

once again,liberals are on the wrong side of history.get ready for a republican majority for a long time.

Wrong side of history? History is written by the victor, so I guess it just depends who wins.

Republican majority? Ye gods, I hope not. But I fear you may be right. We haven't had a worthwhile Democrat in office since Carter. He almost legalized it, but he failed us at the last minute. And what have Republicans done for us? Nixon founded the DEA, and therefore the War on (some) Drugs. Reagan told us to "just say no" while D.A.R.E. told our children overblown lies about drugs. G.H.W. Bush said "the rules have changed" and "we'll make room" (in jail for drug offenders). Guess that doesn't apply to his cokehead family! Clinton may or may not have inhaled (I personally hope he did), but neither did he do anything to change the status quo.

The flaw in your thinking is that democracy can truly work in a corner of the world that missed out on the Enlightenment. You know, the age of reason, and the birthplace of the idea of separation of church and state. This NEVER HAPPENED in the middle east, and religious leaders control the state. Politics and religion go hand-in-hand there. This is a bad idea, for historical reasons that should be obvious - the Church of England had enormous political influence and that is exactly what the founders of this country came here to avoid. It seems that Bush and his right-wing bible-beating followers have forgotten that little fact, and seem to want to push their religious ideals on the rest of the country. Just look at Roe v. Wade. Conservatives would love for the Supreme Court to overturn that decision. I'm sure they loved the Asscroft v. Raich decision, too. That sickened me, personally. My wife has chronic pain that only chronic seems to relieve, so I can only imagine Angel Raich's plight. That the Supreme Court ruled against her... to me, is just unconscionable. How can we claim to support life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and deny (by force, as usual) a sick woman the medication she needs? That woman is a prisoner in her own body... you don't need to take it any farther than that.

Don't even get me started on the war on Iraq. I'm still trying to figure out what the fuck Saddam Hussein had to do with Osama Bin Laden. It just doesn't seem related at all. And even if it was, is 100,000 Iraqi's lives worth 3,000 of ours? Are we somehow more important than the rest of the world? Wait a minute... don't answer that. I think I already know your answer.

I just get the bad feeling that Iraq is merely a training ground for our troops to practice urban warfare... next thing you know, Lord High Emperor Bush will turn them on the people of this country and make Kent State look like a picnic in the quod. There's already a bill that has been introduced that would repeal the 22nd amenment, making it possible for Bush to continue seeking office. New Bill This should scare EVERYONE, regardless of your political affiliation.

I could be wrong, but what if I'm right? Actually, I'm a bit left of center... I guess if you could call me anything it would be libertarian. Leave me the fuck alone to do as I will. Don't tread on me. The government's only role SHOULD BE to protect its citizens, not persecute them. Jefferson and Washington would agree. I would love to spark a doobie with them, then (after we came down, because this would be a total buzzkill) take them to D.C. to see what a mockery of their original intent this nation has become. They would be absolutely APPALLED.

BWWWWAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

[amsterdam]

seriously,what a joke.the issue of national security will never be trusted to the left again,digging their own graves as we speak.

[dankness42o]

no if we were as mad as everyone said we should have did what we did to japan when they attacked pearl harbor nuke em

[amsterdam]

we didnt nuke Japan right after they slaughtered our people.we waited to the last minute to join WW11 and then after a long hard choice decided to drop the bombs.(in the process saving probably a million lives on each side)

[Anousenka]

Yes

When America was attacked without overt provocation,on September 11, 2001,it constituted an act of War..at that point-we were within our rights--to respond in kind or worse..to anyone or any nation deemed an immediate threat. Given saddam's stated intent to attack the US,and that the US was already under attack in Iraq,in the No-fly zones..yes- We were justified and supported by,a unanimous vote of the UN Security Council--to use force on saddam,in order to gain compliance with pre-existing UN resolutions.

There are strategic considerations,that also weigh in on this issue,but I ain't gonna go into those right now.

Have a good one...Torog

OH WHATEVER!!! The US CAUSED the september 11 attacks! You know why? BECAUSE OUR GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT AND EVIL EVIL EVIL!!! The Bush's are in alliance with the Bin Ladens! Isn't it convenient that noone's found Bin Laden yet? THE BUSHS' ARE PROTECTING HIM! Why? because they want money and power and world domination. We should not be in Iraq, the poor old country has almost fizzled out into nothingness anyway, there's not much we can do to help, everyone there is brainwashed...just like you.
