And by the way I only advocate violence to stop a much greater act of violence - the mass bombing of a people in a Third World country who although they have suffered greatly under Saddam are not going to be helped by having their country bombed to pieces and be made homeless and suffer all the tradegdy that comes with war.

I think people underestimate how much effort Saddam expends to survive and how well he knows that if chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons hit any western nation or even any nation friendly to the west, his survival rate would drop to nil.
mr hussain would love nothing more than to be trading with the west. he is not like alqueda who want our destruction. this guy wants to build palaces and highways. he was rebuilding the ancient city of babylon and had plans to recreate the fabulous hanging gardens. we destroyed all that. he would love tourist jets to be landing.....
Of course there will be the financial rewards from the capture of Iraqi oil fields and people on here say this war is not about oil!
Another thing is that before September 11th there was no mention of a serious threat posed by Iraq but September 11th gave legitamcy to America to intervence militarly thoughout the world where ever it sought fit to do so under its so called "war on terrorism". The war against Afghanistan proved to be a failure though with Al Qaeda still active and able to carry out devastating attacks while the ordinary people of Afghanistan suffered greatly including suffering thousands of deaths and still are not free from turmoil and violence in their country.
Neat isn't?
It's lovely how you twist things, you really would make a good political commisar if you weren't such an idiot.
yes, America's miliary budget is 396 billion. It will be that amount regardless of wether they go to war or not. It has been over 350 billion for quite some time, so your point is irrelevant.
There have been many references to Iraq being a serious threat over the years, our jets have been shooting his out the skies almost every day since the Gulf war, it's not been mentioned because it's been classed as routine, and nothing to worry about.
And we didn't kill thousands of Afghans, our attacks have been attributed to less than 200 Afghan deaths. If you want to point the finger point it at the remnants of the Taliban and Al-qaeda units who still routinely execute people and have free reign of movement in some parts of Afghanistan.
And it's nice to know you don't refute my claims that you have intefered with military and police matters impeding their ability to stop terrorism. You really are a traitor, and I hope that your irresponsible and traitorous actions don't get any service personnel killed.
Guess our governments' shit dont stink to high heaven as well, is that it?
Another thing which is a failing with communist organisations is that they are campaigning against a war that is happening on the other side of the world that most people cant relate to. People are concerned more with local issues hence the BNPs recent success by campaigning on local fears over imimgration.
The communists need to campaign against the war on Iraq in a way that local people can relate to. Lets face it unless someone has relatives in Iraq it is not going to be of much concern to them. So they need to play up the local implications of the war such as higher taxes and the diverting of government funds away from social and welfare projects to pay for the war. If they do that then far more people will come out strongly against this war.
7000 you say? Hmm. Funny how we'd only just started bombing Al-Qaeda training camps by then. And I recall about 3 or 4 missiles actually hitting a city, and only one of them killing more than 3 civilians.
And we trained the Mujhadeen so they could defend themselves against the Russians, not that they could attack us in 20 years time.
As well as atrocities like that hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled their homes to escape the bombing and went to live in squalid refugee camps on the Afghan border where thousands of them died because of cold and disease!
They weren't used in cities, they were used in the open against concentrations of troops and tanks.
It is the best weapon we have for getting rid of large quantities of enemy soldiers, apart from tactical nuke. Would you prefer we used those???
And btw, how do they know it was caused by one of our cluster bombs when it could have been one of the MILLIONS of mines left over from the Afghan-Russian war???
IDIOT
Whowhere, it is easy, American bombs are all weapons of Mass destruction. Iraqi or Al Quadia bombs are hurled or launced by peace loving freedom fighters.
There were such vast numbers of cluster bombs dropped on Afghanistan that large numbers of them failed to explode and there were confirmed reports of injuries caused by these weapons. Cluster bombs like depleted uranium shells are an inhumane weapon and should never have been used under any circumstances!
