That's such an unfair comment that i always hear Dubya and the rest of his nation making. Can't i get a bit of the God's blessing every now and again please??? I'm starting to feel left out.
But maybe it's because I don't believe in violence and war to solve conflict (I learned the lessons of 9/11 and the ramifications that violent acts have on humans).
After all, if God's blessing the land of the free whilst this destruction of humanity is happening, maybe he too believes in war, and therefore people like me don't deserve his blessing. I'm questioning my faith as I write
Peace.
NO WEAPON IN IRAQ
plz, give me proove of that....after, we'll see
I don't frequently take trips to Iraq to document their weapons of mass destruction
ONU did it and didn't try anything...but the GLORIOUS bush has prove, so the GLORIOUS bush do a war.....alone !
I can say, saddam is a dictator but he hasn't weappon of mass destruction ! but if u're too limit for undertand that
too limit for undertand that
Very convincing(!) It's important not to put blind faith in our leaders - they don't tell us everything, and this world is far too corrupt for anyone to really care beyond their own interests. His proof to the UN would have been thrown out of court. And it's siince been proven that the area where these arieal photographs were taken were completely irrelvant. It was a PR exercise to win support for the war. Don't accept!! Question!!! 
I started this topic with a genuine curiosity.
it's not like it makes a damn bit of difference. i support bush and our u.s. troops, as do many americans. god bless the u.s.a. indeed!
But why did USA support this man's regime for so long???? Groups were camapigning against this man from day one. Why did America take so long to act??
Colin powell's 'proof' to the UN??? Very convincing(!) It's important not to put blind faith in our leaders - they don't tell us everything, and this world is far too corrupt for anyone to really care beyond their own interests.

Tell me: Saudi Arabia is a worst dictatorship,and has an absolutely appaling human rights catalogue.
Why is American not as persistent to sort out this country? Afterall, we're all doing this war for liberation aren't we?
My sympathies are with the troops who weren't prepared for this war - they were told they'd be fighting 'rag heads' in 'flip-flops'. The resistance faced by an almost non-existen Iraqi military is shocking to say the least.
And I hope God is blessing the civilians, who've had to put up with us supporting this tyrant for many years, along with our sanctions and endless bombing of them. They must be a little pissed with us all.
.Let's not forget that this war was all about weapons of mass destruction. It's absolutely important they find them - and of course they will, 'cos America, Britain and France sold it to him in the first place!! But he was kiling the Iranians and Kurds back then - we didn't care as long as it wasn't us. The fact is WE supported this man when he was at his most dangerous. And we did nothing to stop it
But let's see what happens in post-war iraq - if Iraq becomes the democracy that the IRAQI people want and that America keeps its hand off the goods and more importantly, the Americans and Brits must leave Iraq after the war and allow the setup of an interim authority to govern iraq which will serve the interests of the Iraqis and NOT OURS. The UN is the only body that should head the rebuilding - and America must allow it. Otherwise, the imperialistic theories won't go away, and we need to still acknowledge that the UN still has an important role in this world.
The entire concept of the UN is that nations work together as one - forget the disagreements that everyone had before the war (stop pissing on the French, they are entitled to take whatever position they want on this matter, it's a free world right??? and denigrating them ain't productive - it's juvenile to say the least)
The war is happening - let it finish...SOON and then everyone (NOT JUST USA) should help rebulid this poor nation and bring some f***ing hope to these people)
.And txnchick - I can think of another country that has been defying UN laws for many yeras whilst continuing to illegally occupy land that isn't theirs. What should we do about them? But is it one rule for once country and one for another? that's not a stance that I think the most powerful nation should take. As a superpower, America needs to be more impartial when dealing with the world. It's this biased support of countries that is causing so much anger in the Middle East. You can't expect one man to obey UN laws, whilst another is defying - it's a doublestandard
Unfortunately, I don't have answers to questions like that. Â As you say in your next paragraph, they don't tell us everything
It was certainly enough for the U.S. to have a valid belief that w.o.m.d. would definitely be a threat from Saddam. I think the rest of the world should have taken it a bit more seriously - especially if so many people have been campaigning against him from day one.
You've said yourself our leaders don't tell us everything; therefore, I can't answer this question either. Although, I do agree with you completely. You did say yourself that this war is about weapons of mass destructions and not liberation.
We appreciate it. Some people on this board don't seem to share your sympathy.
Looks like we may have found them - Check out MSNBC, and once again, I completely agree with you.
certainly hope this comment was not directed at me. I have yet to directly insult the French. I will admit to retaliating a few times, but even then it wasn't an insult to a country.
It is a double-standard. Life is full of them, and there's not a whole lot I can do about it.
Peace Out
pulling out something else other than cheap shots about his vocabulary.
if i sat down with a transcript from a press conference of any other politician in any given country, i could probably find just as many grammatical errors
it's not like it makes a damn bit of difference
i support bush and our u.s. troops, as do many americans. god bless the u.s.a. indeed!
We didn't think America would befoolish enoughto sell WOMD to this man in thefirst place
Again, i'm not expecting answers, just an opinion on it. And to be honest, I'm not sure which is the correct option as far as a reason for having war in the first place is concerned. Liberation today....WOMD tomorrow.....
Wrong. US scientists carried out preliminary tests and they appear to be an anti-dote to nerve gas. Let's go back to liberation being ourreason for going to war..... however, if chemicals are found, we'll go to WOMD as being our reason.
It would do our american friends well to remember it isn't just their troops or country who have put their necks on the line. You expect sympathy for your troops, please would you be so kind as to acknowledge the British involvement?? Or is thattoo much to ask?
God Bless the World and all those who suffer in it, regardless of nationalities. Rather take that stance.
Since we're all about proof in this room, why don't you go find me some proof of that?
That's my point exactly. Everyone's SO AGAINST the war, but they can't come up with any better ideas.
Why do you think they have an antidote to nerve gas?? Maybe because they know they could be exposed to it somehow? Wait, I can't imagine how that could happen?
Here we go again. I am so sick of this "we don't recognize the British involvement, we're so self-centered b.s." Nobody was attacking the British on this message board. Nobody found it funny that British soldiers were being killed.
Nobody called them "uneducated", "fat-asses", or whatever other garden-variety lame insults they could come up with.
I am an American citizen, and I support our troops - bottom line.
I don't see anything wrong with that.
I wholeheartedly thank the British for all their support, but that wasn't the topic of this discussion
I believe I have visibly taken that stance on more than one occasion on this board,
God bless us, every one.
.I would've thought that was common knowledge. The British, France and German govts have all admitted trading with the man, and Rumsfeld when interviewed by David Dimbleby grudgingly admitted it too. Let me be clear: we all make mistakes, and I'm sure trading with him was regrettable. But if these countries just admitted thir mistake, it would mean something. They couldn't be accused of complete hypocrisy
However, Your opinion is noted and respected (and I hope mine is too) I guess generally we're coming from two different viewpoints here and the nature of our discussions are always likely to provoke disagreements. The viewpoints presented by both our media systems is different to say the least. Impartiality seems to be a thing of the past Milla wrote: forgetting basic grammar, proof of womd and chemical weapons and what not, and everything like that.
yes, yes, saddam is terrible and yes, yes, he's killed hundreds of people and yes, yes, blah, blah, blah.
i think right now, the only thing we should be arguing about here are the strictly innocent people that are being killed by american and british bombs and shots. take the amount of soldiers dead at any period, and multiply it by 20, and you have the amount of iraqis being killed. they are just fukcing innocent people! children, parents, old people, you name it, they've killed it. they don't show it to you on cnn and msnbc and that goddamn israeli network (fox news) because of law, and that's fine, that's fine for the children, but they could at least talk like there ARE mass numbers of people being killed. and yes, i will say it. cnn is bias. if you want to say it is not, and you have not read or heard or seen anything other than english (including american) news, then i doubt you have heard both sides. i have seen and heard both sides, and i can truly say that cnn is the bias one. i am not saying that everything they say is just crap and defending the americans, but, come on! sometimes, it goes too far. any followers? any non-americans?
ready to debate (peacefully),

When people say SHussein would have killed more than we are killing now, I feel to an extent it's a cop-out. Murder is murder, no matter whose doing it. It's as if people are implying some have a license to destroy lives, whilst others don't. It's a dangerous double standard.
I'm fairly certain that this statement was directed at me
and please, i beg of all of you people, no nitpicking on crap like "non-americans" and grammar, it just wastes space. everybody has their own side. does anyone agree that we should respect one's point of view even if it bugs you? if it offends you, then feel free to comment. but let's no start another grammar and typo mini war.

yes, does anyone else have any other ways to solve such problem? *sarcasm* because this problem is sooooo severe, and it is affecting our life every single moment, *sarcasm*
