It has been so throughout history, why stop now? Unfortunately this country was not founded on authenticity. Of course, to get it that way, you have to start somewhere, but I don't believe here is the appropriate place. sure, why not? It has been so throughout history, why stop now?

He travelled about 250 miles to get there, but I don't know how many people he said were there.

Attacking Iraq unilaterally will create more problems then it will solve, doubly so if we attack before weapon inspections are allowed to run its course. Attacking Iraq will very likely mean Saddam Hussein will either use the weapons of mass destruction on the neighboring countries, our troops or hand the weapons off to other terrorist groups. Attacking Iraq because we think Saddam is a very bad/evil man, basically means that country X can attack country Y if X really hates the leaders of country Y. Kari-Ann,

I used to be a bleeding heart liberal, but my awareness of the realities of middle-eastern life has grown and I have changed my mind about initiating a war there. Women are subjegated and have no rights, chaos and anarchy reign, there are no possibilities for these human beings in the conditions under which they are made to live. Things are brought to change through major events. War is a major event. I fully support killing people who are making other people suffer for their own personal power. I firmly believe the US is not doing that. I believe we are trying to make changes for the unity of the world and I am behind it 100%.
