What Are your Reasons? Look at you all! Big round eyes, Seeing all the media has laid before you, Beliving the hype, Thinking they are right, Panic-buying your water and batteries, What help is that? You have caused your own destruction, Didnt you realise this would happen some day? Human kind is nothing but its own poison. What God would allow a society like this? Not a God i am willing to believe in, Will this war be it? I tell you its hit-or-miss.

If we don't go to war then it just means that thousands of Iraqis are going to be killed by Saddam in the near future, whereas going to war will mean a few people of many nations will die in the coming days or weeks. Which sounds more appealing?

I don't mean at all to sound like I support Bush and Blair in this because I don't believe that their honest reason is the welfare of innocent Iraqis and the bringing to justice of Saddam-I'm sure that the oil controls their thoughts. However, we'll just have to wait and see.

I do like the poem though. 8

And I bet you believe all the Left wing propoganda (sorry, media) about Bush being thick?
The real reason this war is being fought is so the US can get a pro-US foothold in the Midlle East, where it can attempt to stop the waves of purely anti-US terrorism.
Apart from that, your OK Ranger,

Nice poem, Lunar. As Ranger said the motives of this war are suspect. I don't think its all about the oil, or even closely related to saving Iraqis, much less ending terrorism. Bush is probably using that so that he can keep people looking away from the whitehouse. Mr. Bush's excellent spin control has made him look nice and clean but he pushed for this war and then tryed to pull it off as if he had no other choice. -9-

"The only necessary thing for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing" It is our duty to take out tyranny and evil though out the world, if you were an Iraqi would you want the U.S. to mind their own business. You were born free to do whatever you want, and that is something that everyone should have. (oh and ranger, the reason we want their oil is so we wont have to rely on them, he could raise it to any price he wants, and that means that we would have to give him a lot of money, which means more bio weapons, which means more dead Americans and Iraqis) I don?t know about the rest of you wimps but I stand behind my country and my president.

FIRSTLY the mudvanye fellow is a stalker, SECONDLY the poem isnt as good as some of your others and THIRD you people talk of morality but its only mere opinion, there is no galatic right or wrong justs whats funny, and i think its funny the war with iraq. After all the amount of international laws broken by the maericans will land them in shit, firstly they themselfves have peraded iraq POW's on TV breaking the geneva convention, the US government has sactioned use of cheamical weapons on iraqi soliders (in contrevention of the UN cheamical weapons treaties) and finally the invaded a country with the aim of reshime change (TWICE!!) and that goes against international law, so its gonna be hilarious when they have to go to court of this (BUSH IS A WAR CRIMINAL!!!)
