Ok so I misunderstood you Real, let me make myself clear. What relationship does Iraq have to either Vietnam or WWII? I think it's a shame you compared it to WWII actually. Vietnam is a bit more complicated with the whole Communism thing, but Druid was right a while back when he said it was really an economic thing. So does that mean Iraq is an economic thing...?

As for seeking the approval of those other nations to protect ours, the key thing for me is I still fail to see how Saddam was a threat to us. I read recently that Colin Powell actually stated in Cairo that sanctions were working against Saddam only 6 months before 9/11. Furthermore, those countries that have remained out of the Iraq situation have not had an serious terrorist activities, nor any before it. The tragedies in Russia, although they do have some Al-Queda ties, are directly linked to the Chechan crisis (how do spell that?).

Flame sorry I should have been more specific, the people of Great Britain do not support the war in Iraq, plain and simple. Nominally yes, but in reality the cast majority are against it. I see you guys have no comment on the fact that Bush has potentially become the poster boy for terrorist recruiters, nor an explanantion for my the msot advanced and arguably best military in the world has failed to capture the vast majority of top Al-Queda suspects.

The war in Iraq is not a war on terrorism. Beyond that I can't really tell you what we are doing there. A war on atrocities and mass murder, I guess so. But why didn't other presidents deal with him, republican or democrat, if we as a country are so concerned with human rights all of a sudden. He certainly has been in power quite a while, and violently abusing that power I might add. A war for oil, who knows but it wouldnt surprise me what with all the crazy things going on in today's world. A war based on a feud between father and son...now you're getting into conspiracy theory but all thats for the psychoanalysis bunch.

I just feel a tremendous sorrow that hurts me to the core every time I see the honor roll of dead from Iraq on the nightly news. Those are people practically my age, some of them could have been my friends from just a few years ago. I don't think I've ever mentioned this but I do have family that have served in Iraq. My cousin's husband is a Marine. We count our lucky stars everyday that he is safe now.
