I'm in no way a warmongerer (although the PC brigade seem to label everyone in favour of war as one) but i do feel that this is the right thing to do. For a decade Europe stood back and let Hitler come into power because they didn't want to get involved and look at hwat that led to. I'm not saying that Iraq will start WW3 but it's better to hit them before they hit you.

And I totally disagree with the racist label people get thrust upon them for favouring war. This is not a war against the Muslim world or the East. It is a war against Iraq and Saddam Huessein. I do believe that one of the main reasons Bush wants Iraq is for the oil but it seems like a much better reason to goto war than say, oppose the Communists (Vietnam) or just for expansion, racist and egotystical reasons (Germany in ww2)

The papers and news may have propaganda against Saddam but it is pretty harmless and people do see through most of it. On the other hand we have people like Saddam and Osama Bin Laden telling their countries and allies that we are trying to destroy the Muslim faith and that they should kill as many innocent Westeners as possible in order to become martyrs and get into Heaven.

Look at it this way. Bush says we must goto war Osama Bin Laden says fly planes into buildings and plant bombs. I know whos propaganda i'd rather be fed.
You should go and live in the US, you would fit in. I suggest Alabama.

I actually admire the stance France & Germany have taken.

If they don't believe in the War & the politicians r actually standing up for what the ppl think (unlike here) - then why assist in the War preparations???

Cowards???

I don't think so - at least they r standing up to the 'most powerful nation' instead of doing what they say, & really making unadmirable efforts at ridiculous propaganda (Tanks at an airport to stop a rocket laucher hitting a plane??? - Yeah that'll help).

All this stuff about loads of Americans dying for the French in the War?? Loads of French & British died to & the Americans only joined the war to protect their own interests!! - They weren't interested to start with. & why, just because of this, should France do whatever they say!?!?

& The thing is - its not like anyone has actually threatened America.

Crazy..

I personally hate the UK - Politicians, Health service, Prices, petrol, crime, sport - there's not much for me to be proud of anymore - our sovereignty means sod all.

All suck!!!

Mike

Erik, I am not stupied. I have never been nor will ever be stupied.
As far as being fat goes, have you ever been here? That is like me saying all the English have bad teeth. Talk about a stereotype.
