You cant kill a feeling Options

Well we call it a war on terror, but it will never end. terror is a feeling people recieve therefore it wont go away so i believe this is a pointless war, or as I like to call it Vietnam 2. there have been more deaths over there since weve been there. there wouldve been way less if we just kept to our selves. countries need to help themselves before they can help others.

what i don't understand is one thing. ok, we are at war and are in iraq trying to get/kill the terrorist. In the process, got sadam out of power and then handed him over to the iraq's. They did there trial thing and hung him. Then in the paper, im reading how some Iraq's( it did say iraq's, i checked to make sure it didn't say something else) are are saying that they are going to do what ever it takes to do harm to america. We are not the one's who hung him. Granted, we found him, and for the fact that he was hiding in that little hole of his, he did something really wrong. If he didn't, why would he hide. Someone before said it based on religion and the more i read, the more i think its true.

Well Cero I think we have to remember Iraq was a nation whose boundaries were drawn up by the colonial Brits way back irregardless of the major group ethno-religious divides and issues they had with each other. The 'some Iraqis' you refer to aren't the majority in my opinion from what I see- even though they may be a very significant number of Iraqis who 'threaten' to harm America. I think much of it is brow-beating comments and they have no intention of actually coming here to do violence- or getting vapourized in the process. I think as a whole these individuals want to run/ruin there own 'nation' without the presence of coalition forces to interfere with their fundamentalist goals over their majority of fellow Iraqis who I think prefer a western-IZED-style society.
I always thought a nade dropped in Saddam's spiderhole at that time would've been more appropriate to clean things up. Now he has some martydom attached to him since he didn't go kicking and screaming to the gallows, and in fact counter-taunted the guards.


ps. Pardon my fussiness , but like the saying goes in an old Western I saw,
'Meat gets hung... People get HANGED.' Hanged is the term for those who were executed by hanging.

Like 6-pak says he got off 'lightly'... that 'snapping drop' hanging is instant unconsciousness and near instant death. That being said and not wanting to appear too cold-blooded [too much] I do wish everyone in the world just got along and live and let live.
