So what if no WMD?
« on: April 10, 2003, 05:04:11 PM »
Personally I think they will find plenty to justify this war, but what if?

Do you think the looks on the faces of the citizens is enough to show the world just how repressed they were by this dictator?  I mean story after story of the evil this man posessed just keeps being told by the people.  

Is that not enough?


I just hope they get more military in there to take control of the cities.  But that\'s for another topic.

July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.

Not me. This was suppose to be stopping some big "smoking gun" and we have yet to find that "smoking gun". If they don\'t find it and I won\'t be surprised if they don\'t find them, then I regard this war as unnessarcy and a complete diaster.
Getting rid of Saddam? Give me a break. There is worst countries where people need liberated, yet we ignore them.

meh, in this case I think the ends justify the means - even if I didn\'t like it too much.

I feel the same way avatarr.  Would we have ever gone to war without the notion of WMD?  No, I doubt it.  We\'d probably be toying with North Korea right now.

But now that we are half way through this thing (Not by time, but by function - Baath party is out of power) I think it was well worth it.

I mean why should the world just sit back and not do anything about a group of people torchering hundreds of thousands of people to death and terrorising the other several million people in his country.

I\'d rather spend money liberating these countries with these awful dictators than repaving the interstate near my house for the 4th time in 7 years.

You don\'t have to conqueor a country to take out 4 people

If Saddam was your smoking gun why not just take him out?  As this one guy put it take Baghdad from the inside out?

If America said it was going to war to remove evil Saddam they would have even less backing in the U.N. then they do now.

The way I look at it we were just finishing a job left undone for the past 12 years.  The UN handcuffed the opportunity to take him out during the Gulf War.  It is not as simple as just getting him and his family as anyone can see with our attempts to get him these past three weeks.  

A lot of talk about the CIA assassinating him was going on here before the war and it has become very evident that doing so would be near impossible without invading the country.  Without his seat of power this guy is history whether he is alive or dead.  If we didn\'t get him, he lacks the power to do anything major now.
