Yes, let?????????s wait for your brother, or my uncle, or your neighbor to die before we do something. This may sound selfish, but I'd rather have the war over there than here. People have to think of themselves everyone in a while. And like TC said, in the long run, this will do a lot more good than harm.
Anyways, imo, I think in supporting the left, shortkid has done the best job in presenting the materials and arguments, and for the right, TC, because he was in the military, and that should count for something.
Anyways, about this whole war on terrorism thing, maybe Iraq was crucial, maybe not. I'm now thinking that maybe Iran might have been a better target. But, I'm not that sure. Anyways, now that these event have happened, stop bitching about it, and pray that they get in their and out of their as fast as they can, but do things right in the process. Of course there will be screw ups along the way, no bodies perfect. I'm not, you aren't, and your mom and pop aren't. So get used to having disappointments in your life. Your dream of a Utopia is never going to come true. Humans are to selfish, and stuck-up to realize what life would be like if we all got just left each other alone. But need for power drives the human engine. The fact that I'm better than someone pushes me on. Dictators have that power, and it's up to someone to put them back down in their place. Sometimes they don't cooperate, or don't cooperate in a sincere way, giving us reason to attack. Some times it's for a good reason, sometimes your intuition proves wrong. And what Bush did was go off of his intuition to try to protect the American people. He's not Iraq's president, he's not suppose to care about their security, but if we do, it will build friendships along the way to better society. But society is never happy with what they have. Ex. I'm bored just typing right now, I'm not happy, I want to do something, but I don't want to go to bed, I'm not happy. Now, if we bring some one from like the 1700's to our time period, they'd think they've died and gone to heaven. People have become so lazy, and don't see what drives human beings, and fail to realize what happens when you neglect human drive. Its 2 things, sex and power. Mostly power, women = power, money = power, everything eventually leads up to power. And Saddam was at a position of power, and do to the way he was operating things, and had previously operated thing, the President felt it would be better for everybody as a whole to take him out. We tried to pass this through the UN, but they wouldn't help. They wanted to sit, and tea with some one who only understands pain. The enemy does not fear pain or death. They fear freedom. Why else would they blow themselves up? For their religion? Ha! I doubt that Allah would ever say go blow up non-Muslims for I have commanded have told you this through Muhammad. This is supposedly the Almighty that the Jews and the Christians pray to. And that God would not command such a thing. This is the main enemy, the person who kills you for having what ever beliefs you may have. This is the man who will do anything to kill you. He'll be wounded, and when you come to help him, he blows you up. He doesn't give a crap what you?????????re doing for him; he only cares about what you?????????re doing against him. That's making everybody enjoy freedoms. And this is the enemy that the guy shot in fear for his life. This is the enemy that we originally went after in Iraq. The power hungry vermin who will stop at nothing to get to the top. And still not be satisfied, and keep on going. You got to sacrifice some lives to save more.
Now, anyways, now that I've done a horrible job on presenting my point, and lost completely what I was talking about, continue on.
