Well, I'm not feeling any impotence at the moment, I live in a great nation where people are supposed to be free to disagree with their government, unlike Iraq and many other places. This small irony seems to be lost on the "love it or leave it" crowd.
And being called a moron by someone who can't spell "fascist" is always good for a chuckle.
And what this has to do with what is going on now is that you, targadude, posted that "our troops will be fighting for democracy", when the last time we were there we were not. When one African nation invades another where no oil wells are involved, we send a letter of condolence.
I seriously question the truthfulness of the info we have been supplied by our own government regarding the immediate threat to Americans from Iraq, as do many other informed people. They, Bush and company, have had to do some serious backpeddling recently when what the inspectors turns up does not match the pre-sold scenario of Sadam's arsenal. NO credible evidence of a nuclear program or links to Al Queda. I'm surprised that they could not even plant something to bolster their case, with all of the time and personnel we have had over there.
Furthermore, I agree with Ed that the threat of terrorism is raised by this policy, the reason that much of the world feels that military intervention should only be used when absolutely all other options have been exhausted is because of this and many other nightmare scenarios even if we kick their asses fast, which we most likely will. This has all the possibility of having long term repercussions for the western world, IMO.
