Vrai, Ok first off: Why American global leadership is such a bad thing. It isn't---in the right format. Leading by example is one thing. Taking the moral highroad, intervening in times of crisis, helping those less fortunate than us, taking economic initiative; I see nothing wrong with...

Tonio, GREAT comparison in the "Hitler" v. "Communism" phenomenon we've seen so often on this board...I'm certainly guilty of the former and I'm sure that people on this board will own up to being guilty of the ladder...I guess what it comes down to are those are the two ideals that can be...

JH, Yeah this COULD be it. I'm not denying it because Fox news reported it (though it is a bit strange that the others aren't--CNN tends to be the last to post 'breaking news'...waiting for credibility or out of the loop--your call). Again, all these articles say "further tests required" and...

Well, your biggest "I told you so" has yet to come about--the discovery of WMD. Now, I think that they will find them (I don't see how it's possible for Saddam to have gotten rid of ALL those stocks of weapons in so little time with little to no fanfare about it). But there will be many that...

I kinda agree with Vrai on this...wow...anyway, the fact that a Nazi was able to point out a very common social theory that holds true for, as he said, all societies isn't anything especially remarkable. I think is at least kinda interesting in as much as recognizing that the methods to rally...

Flo, Oh so I get it. This war is about gaining in public opinion polls??? What was the point of posting that article? THat the average Joe 12 Pack doesn't care about WMDs? There's news for ya!

Frank, You are right about N. Korea and there are many other reasons too (namely, they've got a far greater ability to inflict collateral damage than Iraq). But that's kinda my point. Seems like we're going into this w/Iraq because, uh, we can. Which, as I've said before, is fine under...

It doesn't make him a threat to our country, Vrai, which is the tripe we are being fed to justify this war. Don't pull the human rights card out unless you are willing to lay it on the table in China, Syria, N. Korea, Iran, Basically ALL of Africa etc...which you may just be ready to do you...

Ok back....meetings....grumble... Anyway first, thanks for defending my sexuality vrai ;-) I love bush and I'm not gonna be ashamed to admit it.... ok now onto the OTHER Bush...Is the reason I'm against this war because I hate him? The simple answer is: no. It's not the fact that its...

Anti-W? Yes. I'm not ashamed of that, he's done it to himself. As for the rest? At least in terms of this anti-war person, I don't really have any financial backers so I don't know what your talking about. I'm not talking about the crappy anti-war movement made up of pseudo hippies in their...

Oh and Bluto, I get it so since I'm against this war, I'm also GAY?? Thanks for reminding me of the intrinsic link between political dissention and a$$-pounding...you are truly insightful!

A nice history of the US response to Terrorism...but basically unrelated to the war in Iraq.

Ok...here we go. First of all, the men and women of our military are over there doing a job they were told to do by their commander in chief. That is what they are supposed to do. IF they have to be over there because of orders from our president, why do I have to, in your eyes, be taking a...

Haha...I was hoping someone would respond with the "support our troops" arguement....man, I'd say that's about the saddest tactitc in use right now to quell dissention. "oh, if you don't support the war, you must not support our troops and care about them fighting for us and our freedoms."...

Wow, who'd have thought that it'd be The Onion who would open my eues to what all of you have been saying about Patriotism and supporting the pres during war... http://www.theonion.com/onion3912/i_should_not_be.html
