Right, now the US may call it a crack down on terrorism, what about the iraqies, they would call it terrorism, now if they were doing to to america, we would call it terrorism. If that makes any sense.

Get over it..Hussiens had 11 years to show us hes not developing weapons of mass destruction and hes rejected every attempt to show us hes not..Just today again they rejected any thought of inspectors going back in..Why..It couldnt possibly be that they are hiding something could it..

After invading Kuwait and exposing his military to a serious ass whooping he agreed to sanctions and weapons inspections..Did we tell him to invade??He made his own choices and now his people suffer for it!And now his regime is about to end.....

Typical approval ratings for popular presidents normally run low 50's to 60's. GWB has never been very very low in comparison to the statisical history of such nonsense.

What do you call bombing an aspirin factory, cruise missile forays into Afghanistan and high altitude bombings in Kossovo?

Geez people, what the feck is wrong with you? When do you think that any Arab country is going to approve of anyone going in to attack another of the same opinion of themselves? In what way are Iraq, Iran, et al. worth saving anyway? Do you want them around to kill us or you? Perhaps their message didn't get through your thick skulls the first few dozen times: THEY DON'T WANT PEACE, THEY WANT THE WESTERN WORLD AND WAY OF LIFE GONE AND YOU DEAD WITH IT. Exactly how do you propose negotiating with beings that have made up their mind to die killing us? All this talk like it's none of our business, or the US trying to show off, or the oil bit is just uneducated nonsense. By your logic, a lion tamer should pull out his pistol only after a lion has his teeth 6 inches or less from his neck.

Did you learn nothing from 1933? Nothing at all? Just because a wolf isn't eating YOUR sheep at the moment doesn't make it not a wolf. Since when exactly were Iraq et al. worth keeping around? Have they contributed anything useful to the world at all?

True, the responses for the African embassy bombings came after the Monica thing broke.

My only concern about the Middle East is what we're going to do with all the radioactive glass leftover.

My view...

I apologize in advance if I'm about to re-hash over something someone has already said, 'cause I didn't read the whole thread...

I really don't care about the reasons behind the discussion, or the past events, or whether or not anyone agrees with the motives behind the discussion.

In my opinion, it is inherently and ultimately ludicrous to allow ANY unquestionably-evil fanatic the option of possessing weopons of mass destruction...in Saddam's case, nuclear arms.

What he did to Kuwait as he was fleeing with his tail crammed back up his @ss is proof-positive that the man has no qualms whatsoever about his actions, whatever they may be.

Every day we allow an undoubtedly evil fanatic in a position of power to run free, the possibility of his unleashing a great catastrophe on anyone becomes ever more a reality.

One of the biggest mistakes any US president has made in the last fifty years was Bush #1's decision to end the Desert Storm conflict without ousting Saddam. I have been quietly hoping to myself, over the last ten years, that we'd somehow get him. Now, I am desperately praying we'll get in there and squash the sucker.

9/11 has nothing to do with it, except for proving the view that an evil fanatic in a position of power holding a grudge is a bad thing. I think it just reminded everyone of the possibilities. The sooner we get into Iraq and get that f*(ker out, the better.

Legacy...

Quote from Legacy: "Yeah Hussein needs to have a smart bomb dropped on his lap but it won't solve any of the terrorist threat to anybody. It's kinda like the Hydra in greek mythology. You cut one head off and 2 or 3 more replace it."

After posting my message, I went back and read over the thread and came across the above statement.

I have a belief, which is that if Osama had the slightest inclination that the response of the U.S. to 9/11 would be what it was, he would never have done it.

An inherent property of every "head" is that it wants to survive. NO head strolls into what it perceives as suicide, or what it thinks is most likely to be.

One of the reasons, in my opinion, that we got a 9/11 is because our response to past terrorist incidents has been, in their eyes, completely laughable. It has not deterred the idea that terrorism is "worth it" to the terrorists.

If we start aggressively going after them, they'll get the message. After all, no head wants to see its own body from afar in the final six seconds after it's been cut off.

Cry havoc, here come the dogs!

Well the problem with not ousting him the first time was no one knew what do do with Bagdhad once we had Hussein out..The attack plans for Desert Storm were incredible but the follow up wasnt even in motion once the Iraqi army started fleeing Kuwait..And the govt really didnt want U.S. troops there for the long haul but it looks like that outcome in inevitable anyway..

9/11 was an eye opener for the entire world..Just watch all our allies line up once Hussein cant live up to U.N. resolutions..

And God Bless Tony Blair..If u Brits dont want him send him over here..He'd do well in American politics
