Quote:to think that we are going to war because sadam mistreats his people is silly...but also to think that it has solely to do with oil isn't accurate either.
... Norman Schwartzkoff signed a ceasefire with represenatives of the Iraqi government during their desert meeting in 1991, which ended the Gulf War. The conditions which Saddam Hussein agreed to were that he would disarm, destroy all chemical and biological weapons, not develop any weapons and to provide proof that he had complied. If he did not comply, that would break the ceasefire agreement. Saddam Hussein is the one and only person who must provide proof that he is complying with that ceasefire. The fact that he told weapons inspectors where they could and could not go, then told American weapons inspectors to leave, then told all weapons inspectors to leave is evidence that he does not want to prove his compliance with the ceasefire. Also, the fact that the UN had to come up with resolution after resolution after resolution for Iraq is evidence that Saddam could not meet the terms of the original ceasefire. The reason we will go to war with Iraq is because Saddam Hussein has not proven himself in compliance with the ceasefire.
... he does treat his people like shit. He enforces fear into his people. If you live in Iraq, and it comes time to vote "Yes or No" to Saddam being president, you will vote yes, or else he kills you and possibly your family. He stamps cigarette butts and pours acid onto people's skin. He has a professional RAPIST. He is an evil man, YET, we cannot go to war over this. WE CAN go to war over him breaking the ceasefire, and killing this evil man happens to be a side benefit.
... And there's still no evidence that President George W. Bush is willing to draw the United States into a war in order to get oil contracts....
Quote:but he isn't bin laden, who should still be public enemy #1, and who we should be concentrating on finding...but you can't stay in office chasing one guy
... we have the best military in the world... we have one of the largest in the world.... it's insulting to the United States to think that the military can't walk and chew bubble gum AND hold an M-16 at the same time...there is news of the US capturing terrorists and sleeper cells every two weeks at the most.... we can fight terrorism and Saddam Hussein at the same time... Hell, throw Korea into there, we can fight them too if they feel like starting shit... we've been at war with them for over 50 years now, if they want some attention, we can shine some light on them... it'll just be the type of light that generates the type of heat you find near the surface of the sun....
