I think war was the abvious choice from the start.
I'm pretty sure many, if not all, were expecting this to happen.

Like the rest who posted before, I too am incredibly disgusted by this. I can't believe Bush is completely ignoring the needs of his own country. Like Rei said, the US and its "followers" are making it seem as if the countries not wishing war are the evil conspirators of this plot, especially France.

I find all the reasons they've given for this war to be mediocre. Some say oil, some say genocide, and others say weapons.

For one : I don't see how some media can go ahead and say that this war is strictly because of oil, seeing as how the U$ has untapped oil in Texas and availability in Kuwait, Turkey, Venezuela, and more in Soudi Arabia. However, I guess that Bush abides by that saying, " the more the merier. "

Genocide... bah. The UN didn't/doesn't care for Saddam's past killings and sabbotages against humanity. How about the time when he was slaughtering innocent civilians after the Gulf War had ended ? The U$ didn't seem to care when Iraq was engaged in the eight-year war with Iran, during which hundreds of thousands of civilians on both sides were killed. How about when 5 thousand people died in Halabja from chemical "toys", which were deployed by Saddam as means of punishment for them having complemented with Iran ? I don't think so.

And then the famous weapons... I frankly don't see how Iraq posseses a threat to the U$ seeing as how they don't have the technology the U$ does and they are so far away. Then, of course, there could be a chance of Iraq supplying weapons to other terrorist groups, but hell, that threat exists within the Russian Black market too, and just about any other nation with such means.

This war is ludicrous... really, it is. *shakes head*
