sadly, i think we need to make a decision on this war very soon. if not for political reasons, for economic ones. if we keep lingering in the "threat mode" without actually doing something, our economy will shrivel to nothing and take twice as long to recover.
as for "Iraq's" comments. the government there is run by a very small, but very powerful religious minority. the actual people of Iraq are pushed around the countryside like a herd of cattle. it's a very sad state of affairs for them. either they abide by Saddam's rules and live in poverty, or be killed. the other option is for us to infuse a "modern" democratic form of governemt which may or may not affect their religious beliefs. from what i remember, the religious/social majority adheres to a far stricter form of Islam than the minority. there needs to be some careful, post-war balancing done to keep everyone happy without making it seem like we're trying to destroy Islam.
times like these suck...

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Immediate popular reaction in Baghdad on Saturday to the loss of the U.S. space shuttle Columbia and its seven-member crew -- including the first Israeli in space -- was that its was God's retribution.
"We are happy that it broke up," government employee Abdul Jabbar al-Quraishi said.
Stupid, stupid...
The smart thing to have done would have been for Iraq to officially send sincere condolences to the US and Israel. That would make people see Iraq as more "human" if they're prepared to put differences aside and sympathise with the American people.

if only there wer an easy way to determine the good guys from the bad guys. it'd be a shame to destroy any more of the archeological/architectural structures strewn throughout that country. the craddle of western civilization, and it's slowly being destroyed by war a despotism.

i see your point, it's kinda like how it would be sad to fund a group to destroy, oh let's say, two buildings that are 110 stories tall and full of innocent people. is george w. the only one who remembers sept.11 and the fact that these guys funded that? there shouldn't even be discussion of whether or not we wipe those people out. it's like poking a hungry bear, they mind there business until provoked. we were provoked, eat em.

But then we would be the same as the terrorists who started all this. No, I see a very real difference between the Iraqi power class and the average Iraqi citizen. No need to kill innocents, though that will inevitably happen anyway.
