Point taken on that - i see what you mean. As civilian casualties are an enivitable factor of war , do you really think that Bush is prepared to do this unless he has at least reasonable doubt that saddam is capable of some sort of nuclear attack.? If it was just for oil (the immenent attack on Iraq) at least it would give some sort of reason for this. Do you really think that he is doing this just to impress his father .? I'm not asking these questions in a confrontational way at all , i would just like to know an american view on why this war is going to happen.? "Crystal Palace nuts are we , we love Iain Dowie"

AH, the American view. I guess that's my cue. (I really need to start checking ALL Talk more...) I think Bush looks like a big Warmonger in my book. Hello, what happened to Bin Laden and the Taliban??? Not to say Saddam Hussain isn't acting like a little prick but all he really seems to be is a good wind up merchant. If he starts doing something stupid like invading Kuwait again, then fine, send in the Air Force again and have his army give up to the TV reporters covering the assault. (again) Remember Libya and Kadaffi and his vaunted "Line of Death"? Haven't heard from them in the past 20 years have we? Because after we spanked them, we sent them to their room and we LEFT THEM ALONE. Since when have we left Iraq alone since 91? We've been squabbaling back and forth ever since. We have spys, if they build nukes, take them away from them. I have to refer to the song at the beginning to this thread that there is more then a shread of truth to that! And I think that is kind of the underlying feeling here in the heartland of America. Now North Korea, they seem scarier then the Iraq nation. But I digress. What does all this have to do with fighting the Taliban???? Oct 26 2002-- Palace 5 Weed 0!!!

Great song. Good luck to all those going on anti-war marches. Unfortunately, I don't think Bush and Blair will take any notice, so intent are they are whipping Saddam's a$$. Perhaps if they put pressure on the likes of Israel to respect UN resolutions in the same way that we demand of Iraq, some of us anti-war brigade may see the conflict ahead slightly differently.

marches went well amd i am doing this "Time: Tuesday, January 21st, 12 noon Place: Federal Building Plaza, Marion/Madison on 2nd Avenue in Seattle Why: Thirty people, representing individuals and organizations from all over the state, will meet with Senators Murray and Cantwell to proclaim the local opposition to our country's invasion of Iraq. They will hand deliver over 9,000 signatures from Washington residents and read some of the signer's comments.

Annoyingly, I can't remember the details and I don't have access to them right now, but as far as I can remember, in Florida (I think) the Bush family gave a large donation to the company responsible for deciding who in the state would be allowed to vote or not on the condition that anyone with a criminal record was barred from voting. They knew full well that this would bar many of the state's black residents from voting, and by coincidence, 9 out of 10 black people in Florida favoured the opposition Democrats...odd, eh?
