gotta love political debates...

there will always be people who think war is good...i mean if the u.s. felt the need to attack canada they would support it.

on the same token there are those who disagree with war no matter the cirucmstances surrounding it.

the situation with iraq currently has gone from a war to get saddam to disarm to a regime change. all in this shiny armor we call democracy. this presidents current policy regarding the "axis of evil" is one that allows no compromise due to the u.s. looking weak if we allow any debate or if we back down.

This policy has the worst reprocussions not with iraq but with N.Korea. Because of the "hardliner" policy bush will not sit down with kim to even discuss the current situation, bush just put it on the back burner hoping that it would magically go away. yesterday n.korea test fired a missile(not ballistic) into the sea of japan yet it was ignored. the game of brinkmanship is being played with the stakes higher than some people realize.

i am not in favor of this war because even though saddam has done horrible things to even his own people(not to mention what we did to the japanese-americans in ww2) are we really the country who decides who is right and who is wrong? Does a terrorist attack just give us all the right to walk into the middle east and change regimes at our lesiure. why risk the lives of so many to eliminate on dictator who really does not pose a threat to the u.s.?
