That's the most [censored] up mentality around... you don't have to agree with the war, you don't even have to support the decisions that were made. But to want people to die? I don't know how anyone could think that. Ya gotta realize that the soldiers that are fighting don't have a choice. I doubt many of them actually want to fight a war. They'll support it, because they've taken an oath to, but as far as wanting to fight, that's not the case. They put faith in their country and are doing what their leaders feel is best, that's just how it works. I don't see anything wrong with being against this war, or against the decisions that are being made, it's commendable. But at least hope that not many people die, on either side.

Me being previously quoted as hoping people die. Let me correct that, I hope Americans die. Now, I apologize to everyone who knows a soldier, they can live, kk.
However, I view America as the evil police here. Mind our own [censored] business. And hmmm, what happens if we go in there and lose 150 ppl like last time... we have absolutely no problem going into other countries if they have something we want or don't agree with.
YOu think it would have been as easy for bush to goto war with IRAQ if we have lost atleast a few 1000 last time??? Hell no.
So I say I hope we don't go in and whoop there [censored]. I hope we go in and it is long and drawn out and we get whooped too. Win or Lose, we will have a different mentality.. Be taken down a notch.
Sure you say, oh, what about if that happening, means N Korea attacks us. Well, we knew NKorea was a bigger threat before we even started this, so I wouldn't feel bad.
Call it unamerican, Call it inhumane, I don't [censored] care. All I want is American to get knocked on there [censored], so we stop going into countries and inflicting death, our morals, our religion, and placing puppets there who will later commit atrocities and result in us going back in again.
Stop the GREAT HYPOCRISY, stop the US.

First of all, I am glad someone sort of shares my opinion: Unreal.
Second of all, Infinite: shut the [censored] up. If the US Gov't should be held acctable for it's actions, then so should Saddam, and every other person in the world.
Jon- hoping america gets knocked on it's [censored] for this is just childish. I still have respect for you, but that is just totally childish.
Saddam Hussein has been defying the UN for twelve years. There is 85 missing liters of Anthrax. He has gased the Kurds in the north and other people, he tortures people. He kills anyone who speaks against him. He is evil, and the Iraqi citizens would be crazy to not want to be free. There is enough reason right there.
But, I don't support or protest the war. I am just sick of stupid hippies protesting without good reason. I have decided that the people that know most about the situation are the ones in charge. We don't have the CIA and a board of advisers for no reason. And the mainstream media is skewed, full of vultures. The rest of the media is unreliable. We don't know what's going on, so we should stop pretending like we know everything.

And hmmm, what happens if we go in there and lose 150 ppl like last time... we have absolutely no problem going into other countries if they have something we want or don't agree with. This argument, in my opinion, is a product of naïveté spouted by the misinformed. It is so easy to raise our fists and ramble on about "minding our own business," that we fail to see the big picture. It is therefore prudent to ask ourselves this: Who's business is Iraq's business? Iraq, with Saddam Hussein in power, poses a very real threat to not only the United States, but to many countries. Saddam speaks of "Jihad," Holy War. Ask yourself, in the name of Jihad, what lengths would a madman go to ensure the integrity of the Islamic people? With Saddam having access to weapons of mass destruction, this thought is a sobering one. As an informed and judicious people, we must remove Saddam from power before these weapons may be used on innocent people around the world.

Iraq defied the UN.
So has the United States, and the US defied the Security Council after it ruled acts we commited as Terrorism.
Saddam gassed thousands of Kurds? With gas given by US, using equipment given by US.
IRAQ has chemical weapons, given by US.
Saddam started the first war by invading Kuwait, after OKing it with us. But then he tookover too much of Kuwait, and daddy bush went over there b/c he feared his puppet might have too much oil control and not be a friendly anymore.
So yeah, I got a [censored] problem. And it isn't misinformed, unless you don't count government documents as a credible source.
I understand Saddam is bad. I am just saying there are many other dictators exactly the same, and the "reasons" we are going to war are reasons that could be applied to the US as well. So if some other felt like playing "world cops", they would have reason to attack us.
So I say, put out the doublestandards, point out the hypocrisy, and admit why we are really in there.
As for the point about a madman using weapons to harm people. Maybe they can take a lesson from us and blow up medical facilities on the hunch that they could possibly be producing chemical weapons. Then check it out afterwards.. oops. But of course, the US would never do that, just those damn crazy middle easterners.
Gimme a break, if we couldn't wait another [censored] day, b/c he may be making weapons, look @ NKorea.
Oh yeah, and did they ever prove that link to Bin Laden? Nope.
So do not lecture me. We don't have the [censored] right to decide every other countries moral standings and what we will and will not tolerate.
And if you think we do, well the time will come when you will see what a situation we have put ourselves in. Like Saddam's son said, "9-11 will look like a picnic."
