Well in that case, 74% say they would serve again not knowing the outcome. You may think what they did was pointless, but they knew what they were fighting for.

I really want to know who said I didn't respect those who served.

You've said it, many times.

all any protester wants is to get those people home as fast as possible so that fewer people die.

That's a load of bull****. Anyone who protests a war does not support the troops in any way.

Evil when you're a millionaire and you're afraid that people who are starving might just want to take a little of that away so that they can live comfortably too, that's what communism is about right? Nobody starves.

Actually, communism goes against the very principles this country was founded on. The very things people have fought and died to protect for the last 227 years.

Half a million or so people DEAD so that the upper 1% of americans can live without fear of revolution.

You'll upset a lot more than the top 1% by changing this country. I'll be dead before that ever happens. Oh, and Vietnam is 30 years old, say what you want, get the last word, but I'm getting back to the topic here with Iraq.

Moving on to Ranzid

Actually, it would be better if you could do it without links. The reality is you're more or less unaware of the situation in other countries, in the same way you're unaware of the situation in the middle east. I'm just pointing out the fact that you can't hide the obvious here, and if you want to bring up a point, at least know something on it.

I'll agree with you, it's probably good for their economy, but it's certainly good to yours, isn't

Actually, not really. Our economy would've been better off not spending all that money in the first place.

I just want to have a good debates and LEARN

Actions speak louder than words. Last time I checked, you haven't learned a thing in months.

I would say that maybe Hussein like the majority of people on this planet, doesn't like to be told what to do and have other people getting their noses into his business.

Except this isn't normal business. And he should be looking out for the interest of his people, and when you're on the brink of war, you should start telling the truth. Thing is, he had them, and he is a master at hiding them. Then we pull out inspectors for months of arguing, giving him a chance to permanently hide this stuff, if not move it. I don't think realistically he could've destroyed everything in that amount of time, but he can hide it, and make it almost impossible to find without human intelligence. Of course, the CIA is having its own problems and we have had horrible human intelligence in Iraq for some time. Now if you think Bush exagerated the threat of WMD, you can make a case for it, but there is no evidence of it at this time. If you think WMD don't exist, you're blind.

Well, a lot of pro americans use that as an argument. Do they believe it? I don't know.

A lot of people, like myself, think it's a good enough reason to take out Saddam. While all the Democrats and anti-Bush people are trying to say that the WMD don't exist, a lot of people don't really care if we've found them now, or if we find them later. The world is a better place with Saddam gone, and hopefully Iraq can be used as an example for the rest of these countries. Iraq is nearing a revolt, the house of Saud is on its last days, and hopefully the region doesn't turn to ****, not like it isn't now.
