In an effort to return to some sort of humor I submit this comic strip.

Saddam and his regime have refused to disarm for over 12 years. Saddam is a mass murderer, he has killed more Muslims than anyone in history. His eldest son is a rapist and a torturing murderer as well. Iraq offers a safe haven and training, YES - TRAINING of TERRORISTS. There is also links that connect Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden. Saddam's pride and ego is so sickening, he is willing to destroy his entire country and innocent lives to stand behind a lie. When we find the banned weapons, which we will, the world will see. I guess the true questions at hand are, "Should we allow a madman of a country to kill innocent people and get away with it? Should we stand in the background and watch his arsenal of evil grow? Should we close our eyes to this...

Victims of Saddam Hussein's poison gas attack on Halabja, March 1988
...or should we just wait and see if he visits the Wizard of Oz and gets the full package deal of a heart, brain, courage and a ticket to Kansas?" I think the world needs to finally realise that America isn't going to take anymore crap. Regarding the American trained soldiers in Afghanistan, this was at a time when the USSR was still a functioning threat to the United States and again, unjustices were being done there by the Russians, we offered aid to the poor military of Afghanistan, how were we to predict that they would turn on us like rabid dogs? Alot has happened since that time with both Russia and Afghanistan. Things change, history is proof of that. The US is in Iraq for good reasons and I support our troops, our president and our cause 110%. GOD BLESS AMERICA!

<sigh> You didn't answer the question. What exactly did "they" start, and when?

Ban aardwolfe, not Mike ! AW has flaunted his caustic and abrasive style since day one. Witness the customary apologies that followed his early posts on this forum. France is entitled to do as they please, but the bottom line is that the only time France likes the USA is when the Germans are kicking their a$$.

America and Britain both have extensive and recent histories of arming, supporting, encouraging, protecting, training, supplying, pretty nasty un-democratic countries when it suits them. They also are more than happy to sabotage democratic processes in other countries when that suits them too. So the argument about democracy and freedom doesn't stand. From the top of my head the name Mossadeq pops up as some that relevant to this situation.

Iraq is a great example, Britain was involved in supplying weapons and helping build chemical factories see The strange case of Falluja 2 Many Iraqi officer in the last gulf war had trained at Sandhurst!

Why does America not invade some of these other countries which we know to be oppressive dictatorships? How about invading a large country which has many more weapons of mass destruction than could possibly be used, and has been ripping up international treaties so that it can prevent inspections. In fact may have gone as far as making those inspections illegal.... any guesses what that country's called?

Justintime, yes! any American 'protesting' the War on Terrorism is "panty waisting" in my opinion. I just think that if you're Countrymen are involved in a conflict, that's inclined to protect your LIFE, then protesting is cowardly. YOUR Countrymen are fighting alongside mine; because the Executive Branches of OUR governments have credible info, leading them to believe, it 'was now or never' to get that Madman Hussien. I stand proudly and strongly alongside ANYONE in uniform in my Country, whether we are in a conflict or not. By the way, I am one of a handful of "Taps' players in this Country, and cover all of the 7 New England states for military funerals as I am needed. The reason i do this is to stay in practice for the 7 men in my family, who are all going to recieve a military funeral when they pass; and I'll be danged if a 'boombox tape recording' of 'Taps' will play at any of their burials. They were promised a live 'Taps' player when they served, and they'll get one. I just took another look at the 3 Medals for Heroism, and 3 Ribbons, and my Unit Citation, that I recieved for my 'Acts of Heroism' performing rescues DURING the Plane attacks on the World Trade Center, in NYC, on Sept 11th, 2001. Thanks for reminding me to NOT take today for granted <img src="images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I appreciate your point of view, it's much harder to accept from where I view it, that's all. By the way, I accepted my awards on behalf of all those who perished, and the untold numbers of civilian heroes that were there that day, that recieved no recognition. That's all I have to say on this thread. The PTSD is enough to deal with the rest of my Life thank you, Gene
