Oh yeah! We are very lucky to see U.S. going into dubious wars, bypassing U.N. being led into it by notoriously untalented son of ex. president that won less than 50% votes. Hell yeah, we've never been luckier...f****g great!

Reading all these posts I am astounded as to how quickly people forget about 9/11. This conflict is about removing from power (killing *edit*as needed) irrational people that threaten the security of a mostly peaceful world. Iraq may not have the capability to launch a military strike against the U.S. but it does have the resources to acquire WMD and is working to distribute them around the world.

Yes, 9/11 sucks but Iraq has less conections to Al Quaida than Saudi Arabia, which is "friendly nation" in that way that they aren't interested in building oil cartels. Sadam is a bad man and should be removed, but people doesnt seem to realize that you cannot wage war on terorrism by bypassing U.N. and bombing nations as geographical entities as way of miss-guided retaliation and calming in-house hawks.
Wars are bad, costly and people die. This one won't solve terrorist problem. Actually, i'm afraid it will just consolidate arab nations even further into supporting terrorists... it will probably quench thirst for revenge after 9/11 but i believe it will create heaps of other problems in long term.
Well, now it's already started...just get it done swiftly, pull back those, get rid of that moron in the White House.
