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's not about having answers, it's about having an opinion and questioning the hypocrisies. yes, they don't tell us everything - only what is benefical to their cause at the time.
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.
america doesn't live in this world alone - it's not enough to convince itself, but to convince other nations too. The long-running campaign against him was never about WOMD, but about the mistreatment of his people.
We didn't think America would be foolish enough to sell WOMD to this man in the first place. :rolleyes:
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.
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.....
We appreciate it. Some people on this board don't seem to share your sympathy.
I don't just talk about the american troops but our British men and women too. But having said that...none of them are conscripted. Civilans are still the main casualties of war.
Looks like we may have found them - Check out MSNBC, and once again, I completely agree with you.
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 our reason for going to war..... however, if chemicals are found, we'll go to WOMD as being our reason.
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.
Of course not..... you've not said anything as far as I know, but I would be grateful if someone would enlighten me as to why the French got so much sh** in the first place. The anti-French sentiment appeared on the scene first with the boycotting of French products. So what, they didn't support u.....get over it! It's not as if their opinion was paramount anyway. The war still went ahead!
It is a double-standard. Life is full of them, and there's not a whole lot I can do about it.
The fact you've admitted it is a double-standard is good, but to have ablase attitude and say life is full of them, really misses the point.
Peace Out
I'm optimistic
pulling out something else other than cheap shots about his vocabulary.
why? It's too much fun.

And anyway, it's not just his vocab, it's his obvious lack of intelligence about the world. Okay, he's charming, he's passionate, he's patriotic blah-blah- so go work in a store.....are these the only qualifications a person needs to become President of the most powerful nation?? let's all run then shall we? To expect your President to be intellectual and highly educated, I would hope is not a lot to ask for. I'm sure if Bush wasn't a White-christian man you'd all still overlook his lack of basic grammar(!).
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
I've yet to see anyone match Bush...but go ahead..knock yourself out.

it's not like it makes a damn bit of difference
I'm sure that would be your attitude if i "tried pulling out something else other than cheap shots " .... so either way, what have I got to lose??

i support bush and our u.s. troops, as do many americans. god bless the u.s.a. indeed!

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 that too much to ask?

God Bless the World and all those who suffer in it, regardless of nationalities. Rather take that stance.
