If money can be made, USA will ignore all treaties, rules and regulations. We\'ve seen that many times.  ;(

come on now bush has to blow something up.... after all, america blows something up every decade.....

[Dumb Woob]

our our peace loving people can simply write sudam a note and then bush will put them in a missle (without an explosive charge of course) and shower the letters above one of sudams lovely palaces, he\'s sure to read the notes and stop his evil ways

[Fanomatic2000]

Sarcastic? Who? Me? I have no idea of what you\'re talking about

BTW. THAT\'S THE SPRIRIT DW! It\'s Americas RIGHT to blow Iraq to pieces! Proof is only for weaklings!
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

America can\'t find Saddam, and they never will, just like Bin Laden, and Castro (Before they gave up on looking for him). If your ever in the Yahoo chatrooms check out \"Arab Chat:3\" there is a good singer in there that sings a song called \"God Kill America\" I\'m sure he will be happy to sing it for you. I think you and everyone else who says to nuke/kill/do whatever to Iraq should be the one to be thrown in there and get killed yourself.

I just wish there wont be any wars, or a world war. That\'d suck. Canada would probably end up doing the same thing they did in WWII (putting back conscription), and me and my bro would be sent to the front without a doubt. Army sucks. War sucks. Killing is lame

Americans need to realize if Bush keeps pushing it, this isn\'t going to be a \"War\" like they know it, where America just attacks everything far away from home. The war is going to come home, more suicide bombers, more nuclear weapons.

We\'re not all iraqi-hating, arab-discrimintaing, middle east haters, war is just a necessary evil, you are simply bearing the  evil of one thing to hopefully prevent something that is worse.  I\'m not sure whether Bush is preventing something from happeneing, or creating something worse, i guess that\'s kinda the argument, eh?

[Fanomatic2000]

Could you put that sign down Dumb Woob? I think it\'s annoying X(

Yup, there is no way they will find Saddam. Do you know how many \"Saddams\" there is?
The only thing this will result in is the death of many innocent people X(  

BTW. If everybody thought like you did \"Woob\" we would all be dead by now.

[Kiern]

What?  Woob\'s sig kicks ass!


And its implied that we\'d all be dead if we thought Woob\'s way, he is Dumb  Woob after all.

Also, sometimes war IS a necessary evil, could it have been prevented? yes!  But once it goes too far there really is not much of an alternative

Actually we wouldn\'t, we would be a huge mass of computer-nerds, that wouldn\'t really give a poo about what was going on unless it affected their internet connection.  We would do lots of thinking but no acting, because acting involves movement, which isn\'t good practice for a woob.  



EDIT:  I forgot to mention my freedom fries, freedom fries are the best, I\'m eagerly awaiting freedom poodles.

Let\'s cool it on the personal stuff and just debate the issues please.

I saw two very interesting articles about why the French and Germans are supporting Iraq so much... Here is the first one, pasted from Stratfor.com (a pay site):

It is also important to understand a not really unknown but oddly neglected aspect of French policy: the personal relationship between French President Jacques Chirac and Saddam Hussein.

The relationship dates back to late 1974, when then-French Premier Chirac traveled to Baghdad and met the No. 2 man in the Iraqi government, Vice President Saddam Hussein. During that visit, Chirac and Hussein conducted negotiations on a range of issues, the most important of these being Iraq?s purchase of nuclear reactors.

In September 1975, Hussein traveled to Paris, where Chirac personally gave him a tour of a French nuclear plant. During that visit, Chirac said, ?Iraq is in the process of beginning a coherent nuclear program and France wants to associate herself with that effort in the field of reactors.? France sold two reactors to Iraq, with the agreement signed during Hussein?s visit. The Iraqis purchased a 70-megawatt reactor, along with six charges of 26 points of uranium enriched to 93 percent -- in other words, enough weapons-grade uranium to produce three to four nuclear devices. Baghdad also purchased a one-megawatt research reactor, and France agreed to train 600 Iraqi nuclear technicians and scientists -- the core of Iraq?s nuclear capability today.

Other dimensions of the relationship were decided on during this visit and implemented in the months afterward. France agreed to sell Iraq $1.5 billion worth of weapons -- including the integrated air defense system that was destroyed by the United States in 1991, about 60 Mirage F1 fighter planes, surface-to-air missiles and advanced electronics. The Iraqis, for their part, agreed to sell France $70 million worth of oil.

During this period, Chirac and Hussein formed what Chirac called a close personal relationship. As the New York Times put it in a 1986 report about Chirac?s attempt to return to the premiership, the French official ?has said many times that he is a personal friend of Saddam Hussein of Iraq.? In 1987, the Manchester Guardian Weekly quoted Chirac as saying that he was ?truly fascinated by Saddam Hussein since 1974.? Whatever personal chemistry there might have been between the two leaders obviously remained in place a decade later, and clearly was not simply linked to the deals of 1974-75. Politicians and businessmen move on; they don?t linger the way Chirac did.

Partly because of the breadth of the relationship Chirac and Hussein had created in a relatively short period of time and the obvious warmth of their personal ties, there was intense speculation about the less visible aspects of the relationship. For example, one unsubstantiated rumor that still can be heard in places like Beirut was that Hussein helped to finance Chirac?s run for mayor of Paris in 1977, after he lost the French premiership. Another, equally unsubstantiated rumor was that Hussein had skimmed funds from the huge amounts of money that were being moved around, and that he did so with Chirac?s full knowledge. There are endless rumors, all unproven and perhaps all scurrilous, about the relationship. Some of these might have been moved by malice, but they also are powered by the unfathomability of the relationship and by Chirac?s willingness to publicly affirm it. It reached the point that Iranians referred to Chirac as ?Shah-Iraq? and Israelis spoke of the Osirak reactor as ?O-Chirac.?

Indeed, as recently as last week, a Stratfor source in Lebanon reasserted these claims as if they were incontestable. Innuendo has become reality.
