We may have a problem with the identification of the threat.

Are we speaking about a local problem (that can be solved with a bomb) or about a global problem that will let other local problems emerge in the future if we don't solve these on a global basis ?

Somewhere I feel these days that we speak about one symptom, not about the causes.

Very nice speech he made. I can't wait until you see the Iraqi's dancing in the streets with American flags and hugging US soldiers. Its gonna be great to laugh at you all, again.

kanecorp... i expect you are a big supporter of this war. But even so, you have to look at both sides of it. I'm sure we would all love it if the Iraqi people had hated Saddam forever, but not all of them will. And combined with a military that could have chemical weapons, this might not be a lovefest. American soldiers have known to be reckless also, what if we get a little too excited? There are too many things that could go wrong in any war, this one included, to be able to say with any confidence what you just said. And if it was a laughing matter I too be laughing at you right now and after this war because in all my certainty I can tell that your results will never come to be.

Why did you contribute to this thread if you didn't want to listen to other's opinions ?

Hey, kanecorp, I am going to take away your superdrive iMac! (analog to USA trying to shoot out Saddam from his leading position). But you love your mac. (analog to Iraqi loving Saddam) Anyway, for some reason I feel very much disturbed and kinda threatened by your iMac. Unfortunatly I cannot convince you or anyone else in this forum. Anyway, I am sure I am right and I gonna take away your iMac and bounce it in pieces.

So? How do you think about this? Just to make it easier for you to understand the situation! ;-)
And now read again some of these posts, esspecially toasts, and I hope you will see what's it all about.

(Consider, I was just talking about the point that USA is making a step without successfully convincing other nations and finally giving themselves the right to proceed. That has nothing to do with democracy...)

I think that by doing this, Bush has jeopardized his ablilty to run for a second term.

Actually this is probably his one great shot at re-election. The economy is down in the dumps and there is not much HE can do about it (paying the price for the "boom" years that never were, it'll come back, but only when it's good and ready, you can only drop the prime so many times). People have short memories, they'll think "Clinton = Good Economy" and "Bush = Bad Economy/Corp Greed" and open the door the the demos, though not much of what's currently going on is his "fault".

So this is his only shot at making a mark. Everyone knows how Bush Sr's ratings jumped after Iraq v1.0 and I bet he's hoping for the same. And that it will also jump start the economy. At least he's wise enough to do it far enough away from the election to give the economy time to improve. The turnaround didn't happen fast enough to help Sr.
