President Bush, of America, has just stated that Saddam Hussein and his sons have 48 hours to leave the country or there will be a war.

A war closer than we all thought.

Saddam said everyone country will pay if he goes into war with Iraq. I'd be a lil worried if he loses or wins, because hes one crazy mother fucker, he fuckin bombed one of his own cities and threw mustard gas and shit. WWIII? Let's hope not, even though Bush is as fuckin stupid as hid dad, this could get a lil too serious for every country.

Keep the peace.

Hey man, there's two things you should realise.
1: Just because he's the President, it doesn't mean he's a genius. FYI, my IQ is higher than his, and I'm 18.
2: There's a reason countires like Canada and the Swiss don't fight wars.

Don't be so quick to get defensive, no ones saying things about the citizens of America.

Most Americans disagree with Bush for the actions he is taking. However, Iraq has had its chance for 12 years, and if we continue to go like "oh he just needs time" the United Nations would become the League of Nations and fall apart because it could not inforce what it says. Action is needed, but what type of action is still to ponder about.

No offense, America doesn't need Canada's support in this really, besides, what does Canada have to offer?

If you look back, each war the only reason the economy got back is because it just so happened to be the end of a recession. We are currently in one, and it might end during this war, just out of luck. Wars dont help the economy a lot.

I think know that people know what is going to happen, they will start putting money back in the market. We've been doing OK for the past couple days. Also, those reconstruction contracts are going to help quite a bit. Not to mention our new found friends in the mid-east.

"reconstruction contracts" sounds like something Roosevelt tried to do with the New Deal, most of his ideas were voted as unconsitutional. If Bush doesn't pay more attention to the economy, then he can kiss his second term goodbye. Voters reflect on the economy status during the president's term, so far it's sucking major ass.

It may have sounded extremely harsh, but it's true. He is an arrogant bastard who has exerted no remorse or sense of emotion for the Iraqi people, many of who will die when the US drops it's "smart bombs" in and around Baghdad. Do a search and see the amounts of civilians who were killed when the US pushed Iraq out of Kuwait, and think about the amount that will die because of America's "recession" when the war goes into the streets of Baghdad.. .

America will do what it has to do to remove a threat. Hussein is a threat to us, to his people, and to everyone else. He will be removed, whether the UN and everyone else wants it or not. The UN has more than proven that it isn't capable of enforcing the laws that it has set forth upon Iraq in the form of over a dozen resolutions. The job is left to us. 12 years of diplomacy, hundreds of inspectors, etc, have failed. There is only one option left. The military option.

5 carrier groups, 280,000 troops, the full fury of the American military forces, joined with those of other allied nations, will reign vengeance down upon Hussein and anyone who follows him.

A man who has proven that he has no reservations about using WMD, whether it be on his own people, or anyone else, will be taken down from power.

Some argue that civilians will die. This is a fact of war. There has never been a war without collateral damage. Something needs to be done, we cannot stand idly by and let the UN send Blix running around Iraq looking for weapons being deliberately hidden from him.

The needs of a few cannot be held in higher regard than the needs of the masses. War always brings sacrifice with it.
It is my opinion, that removal of Hussein, will do more for Iraq and it's people than anything else ever has.

I honestly believe that the French administration is afraid that we will find something that they don't want us to see if we go into Iraq. They have attempted time and time again to maliciously undermine the foreign policy of the US.

In the words of Alexander Haig, when asked about the Israeli destruction of the nuclear reactor facility that the French sold to Iraq..."...you will thank God they did what they did."

There has never been any proof to tie Iraq and al-Qaeda. The US government has tried to provide evidence of links between the two but no link has been found.

Saddam and Usama bin Laden both detest eachother. When Iraq invaded Kuwait the first time bin Laden offered to gather a group of muhjahadeen to fight off the Iraqi's and free Kuwait. Ever since then Saddam and bin Laden have hated eachother.

Does Saddam even have the means to transport a weapon to America? No he doesn't. He may have the weapons, yet to be proven but I do guess the American government has a checklist of all the chemical and biological weapons he was supplied with, but he has no way of transporting them. He does not posses a single ICBM, and without this he has no hope of hitting the North American continent.

Warfare isn't so conventional anymore. A guy with an envelope of anthrax or something else hidden his shoe could easily make it into the US. As we saw on 9/11, the desperate are no longer sticking to traditional means of fighting.

Alrite, I see your point here. But what makes Saddam such a threat all of the sudden? He had not done anything in the 4 years since the Weapons Inspectors left in '98 and there has been no proven links between him an al-Qaeda so what is the reasoning for war? I think he is a lot more dangerous now that he has his back up against the wall than he was before all this War on Iraq talk started.

He was always a threat, he just drew attention to himself after 9/11. Not to mention the fact that he tried to kill the current President's father, Hussein's day was coming the moment Bush was sworn in. It's a job that we left undone in 1991, we're just going to clean up.

For the pro war advocates, something to consider
- ~50% US citizens are against the war
- ~80% UK citizens are against the war
- people all over the world are protesting this war,

you gotta realise that there are valid points with regards to why this war shouldn't happen, i thought the US was all about democracy? if so, why not put this war to a vote and see?

- Bush stated that regardless of if he thought he could get the 9 votes needed for UN support, he would call the vote at the Sec. Council in order to see where each country stands, now all of a sudden it proceeds without so much as a vote nor any deliberations with the Sec. Council

- Bush has also said that Saddam poses a threat to the entire world because he possesses weapons of mass destruction, chem and bio weapons, links to al qaeda yet alot of this so called "evidence" seems inconclusive including the weapons inspections that were supposed to prove all this

- There are consequences that must be faced by every country in this world, the US will not come out of a recession because of this unless they are very lucky, so far they have racked up a lot of bills supporting troops and mobilizing troops and all this is on borrowed money, now if they "return all oil profits to the iraqi people" who's goign to end up paying for this war? the US citizens in the next 50 years

- how many more wars after this one are you going to fight? there are a myriad of dictators out there, the whole middle east is comprised of dictators, so what? that's how their culture is run, look at Saudi Arabia, one of the biggest oil nations in the world, women are treated like shit there but because they contain so much US interest, it is wrong to impose one's views on another simply because you think yours is right, "ethnocentrism", one of the most ideal political structures is social communism, why because run in it's most utopic form, it allows everyone to be equal yet the US does not agree with that because communism is a threat . . . so war again

glowrider, i understand you're a US citizen and that you are pursuing an MBA and blah blah blah, but since you are so educated, why dont' you bring up some points with regards to why war is good without realising this from a selfish point of view

a war will never be good for anyone involved . . . look back into history, every war has casualties on both sides, are you telling me that people dying is worth it because you have money and you didnt' have to enlist so the one dying won't be you?

The UN has failed to enforce the dozens of resolutions it has imposed on Iraq. Blix has submitted pages upon pages citing Iraq for non-compliance.

The UN has failed to assert itself as a governing body. The US will pick up where the UN left off.

Hussein has broken the law, and now he will suffer the consequences.

Canada isn't involved, so I really don't see what difference it makes to all of you whether we do this or not. This is our fight, let us fight it.

The reason so many people are worried about this war is because to seemingly everyone except the American government it looks like the US is just doing what it wants when it wants too.

you are right, Blix has stated non-compliance but he has also asked for more time, why listen to one thing he says and not the other . . . also think from an Iraqi's point of view, if the cops said that we could come in and search your house because we think have guns, how are you going to take upon that? are you going to be willing to sit there and allow the search to take place all the while being cooperative or are you going to resent the fact that they are in your house?

the UN was drawn up to "protect world peace", i think they are doing a damn good job of it until the US decided to meddle and besides, the UN is comprised of many nations where as the US is one, why does the US think it is "smarter" than the combined minds of many?

Hussein may have broken the law, but the consequences being suffered are not just by him, that of the Iraqi people are directly being affect along with the entire world indirectly affected

I'm glad Canada isn't involved, but there is huge ripple effects being faced by us, your nearest neighbour, already, terrorist cells are set up in Canada, not because they want to bomb us, but because it's easy access to the states, the economic repercussions in itself will be felt the most strongly here in Canada, regardless of all this, i still feel the human compassion factor should be more than enough to view this war as unnecessary

the US has more than enough "might" to blow Iraq off the map, why not wait until they become a threat to actually prove that . . . like i said, i wanted to ask if you could provide some unselfish reasoning, yet you couldn't . . . that is fine as you are entitled to your own opinions, i just urge you to take everything into consideration before drawing your conclusions . . .

Well we haven't invaded Canada, and don't have plans to in the near future, so you've got nothing to worry about.

Name them. Iraq has complied with all of the UN resolutions and has assisted the UN weapons inspectors in their search for weapons. The UN has itself praised Iraq for the assistance and the cooperation. The UN had approximately 700 inspectors and did not find a trace of weapons related to mass destruction. Either the Iraqis are incredibly lucky, or they have some kickass hiding spots.

Since the UN has not asserted itself as a governing body (by this, I assume you mean it hasn't done what the US has told it to do, since the UN did what the rest of the world wanted it to do), will the US now have the authority to practice it's new found policy on unilateralism wherever and whenever it feels like?

It's not our fight, but it does mark the first time in history where the US has fought a war against another country without the support of any allies (minus Britain) and done so without UN consent.

Honestly, I don't have anything to hide from the police. I wouldn't mind if they wanted to search where I lived, just to get them off my back. I've had my car searched before, and they found nothing. I let them do what they want to do and get on with their lives. Nothing to hide.

Why not wait? Don't want to take the chance that we might wait to long. He's had 12 years to completely come clean, and has failed to do so.

Unselfish reasons for war...

He employs professional rapists. These professional rapists rape women and children infront of their families in order to extract information from the people in question.

His torture chambers.

His use of WMD.

The invasion of 2 neighboring countries.

Violation of UN resolutions.

The man has a 30 year history of war crimes, and gross atrocities. He has 48 hrs to step down. If he will not step down, he will be taken down.
