Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
Just one thing simple:
If the UN did not declare war/sanction on Iraq, US should not do it alone. Why? because then it means that a world organization 200 (i think... cant remember the #) countries cannot stop US.
Its just not something of "trust"...
What else other than war? Let the UN decide.

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
As Dustin said: He's a warmonger. He says whatever he thinks will get his popularity ratings back up (anyone see the State of the Union address? Has he ever even MENTIONED the environment or AIDS funding in the past? No.) He's only making the rich richer and doing nothing to help those that need it. He's his daddy's clone. He's a Republican. And he looks like a muppet.
Nah, he's actually not really that bad of a guy. I have a love-hate relationship with him. He seems like a nice honest guy, but he's Republican and he's a warmonger. So I'm in between. He is, however, on my People to Punch list. Along with Michael Paine from Designing for the Sexes, and about fifty million other people.

why'd you delete my post about loving dubya?

Being a major in Social Studies, I think it's about time someone is doing something about the war and terrorism going on. I don't wanna sit here and wait until we get bomb.....Good for Bush, he has my support.

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
That my friend is an inacturate and ill-informed statement, this is in no offence to your opinion though, we are still fighting the war on terrorism in Afghanistan deserts and out intelligence is searching for links of Al-Quita to places such as Iraq and Saudia Rabia, And it is not only because of terrorist links that we are presuing a war with iraq, Iraq is not complying with UN sancions and needs to, or the entire non-muslum world is in great and inimate danger.Originally posted by squee@Feb 13 2003, 09:16 PM
ack oneforhthemoney what are you thinking? i mean have you ever stopped to think and realized that the only terrorist group he is concerned with is in iraq? hmm thats NO coincidence is it..

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
Agreeing with you one.... I'm a history minor (Linguistics major) and you can't let things like this fester. Kudos to Bush for having foresight.Originally posted by oneforthemoney@Feb 13 2003, 10:08 PM

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
Yeah, Cindy I don't think that most of the population is against the war, I think it's just you see the Anti War people a lot more. I'm not exactly in favor of the war (ie I wish there were another way) but it's inevitable I think. I dunno... I am just like over the whole thing. I don't know what to think really, I'm basing my opinion on what I know of history, and history says that a situation like this will most likely erupt into war. So I don't think Bush should be blamed for something that can't be prevented. I do think that he may be a bit extreme in pressing for the war, but I still admire his courage in pushing it, because I shudder to think of what Pearl Harbor will look like in 2003. I hate to say this about our country, but Americans are such isolationists. We have so much, we can survive on our own, and we are content to sit back and be oafish until we are attacked. I for one would like to see another attack on America be stopped, and I can't think of many ways to stop it. The only way I can think of is to kill the attacker before they attack you.

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
cnn.com. There was an article recently about 8-9 million people involved in anti-war protests AROUND THE WORLD. This isn't just a protest against their government by the American people, this is a fight for peace. People all over the world hate America. Also, the Yellow Journalism of the American-Philippines war is probably very similar to fabrications by the American government and newspapers today. There are alternatives to war. I am not anti-military, just anti-war. The US government thinks that they/we are all mighty, and that's not true. Our country is not any better than the rest of the world just because people think we're more "civilized." How civilized is bombing innocent civilians to kill one man? We have the resources to find and kill Saddam, this war can be avoided. The US is going to be attacked if this continues. Don't be afraid to become educated, it's your right, and form your own opinions and stick to your values. <3

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
OKAY
Isn't it sad how people of the world want to SOLVE the world's problems and create PEACE by going to war to fight war? Isn't it sad that OUR peaceful way of preventing war is WAR? Have you watch documentaries about Afghanistan? All those innocent people who have no food, shelter, live in utter poverty while statistics say that every 1 out of 10 americans are fat.
Then everyone throws a big show about the people dying in the world trade centre attack - HELL OF COURSE ITS HORRIBLE....but what about those 10 000 people dying in one small country in africa every year....how about those milions of people dying of aids, dying of poverty? No one cares about them...and we want to make a difference in the world by killing innocent people that have no cooking clue what the war is about in the first place cause they have no tv, or radio?
something to think about...I dunno - war pisses me off, its overrated and its still the same...same as ol'hitler.

Because he is a moron who wants the media focused away from his failure as president and in view of a war we shouldn't start.

Again, I agree with One. Saddam is showing remarkable likenesses to Hitler, and history has shown what people like that do with power. He puts on a happy face, and can bow and curtsey and schmooze like the world leader he is, but underneath he is doing everything he can to make people believe he's not dangerous, when at the same time he is doing whatever he can to gain more power. I could write a dissertation on how remarkably similar Hitler and Germany in the 1930's and Saddam in the 1990's-2000's. I won't write them out here, but trust me on this.

Re: Why R U All Against Bush?
A bit of both. I don't think that the US should go to war alone against Iraq, but I think the UN should pass something more than inspections on Iraq, including war if necessary. I'm not sure how effective the UN is though. I do think George W. is on the right track for pushing this because he may seem to be a war mongerer (sp?), but I think ultimately his foresight will save lives. I certainly am not looking forward to war, but I got a hunch about 3 years ago that there would be something like this happening now (well actually it was supposed to be a bit farther in the future but oh well) by reading a book called The Fourth Turning by Strauss and Howe. Basically (along with another book) the theory of Strauss and Howe is that history moves in a circular path, ie turnings. The fourth turning is a crisis turning. So that indicated that we were leaving the third turning and going into the fourth one. So I don't think that Bush started this war, nor do I think he can prevent it, so I am not going to be critical of him for doing what he thinks is best for the country, because I would act similarily in the same situation.
Did I really answer your question?
Ok, simple version:
War in general: bad
War on Iraq: regretable, but probably will come to war.
US alone war vs. Iraq: Idiotic
UN war on Iraq: best situation for everyone.
