Man, I really wanted to stay out of this argument. Okaly has really summed up how I feel about this whole conflict quite nicely. Others, Trav666 and scratcher have have revealed themselves as total idiots. Dukie tried and failed miserably to to put a different spin on things.
Everyone always says that the US should stay out of others affairs. I half agree. Dukie complains that the US entered WWII too late...the one time we tried to stay out and become a more xenophobic nation. Fact is, if we had never entered at all, the world would be a much different place, and I believe for the worse.
Many things the US did in WWII helped liberate the folks of France and Belgium. Now Dukie says we were to late. Jeesh. He is certainly entitled to his opinion, however, and I respect that.
Now Iraq. Doesn't Iraq's chemical and biological weapons pose more of a problem for the folks of Europe than it does to the US? I would think so, as they have no technology for ICBMs. Isn't it even a little more prudent to stop Saddam now, than to wait till he's pointed the dang things at Turkey, Isreal and others, as well as sending goons to the US, Britain and France with dirty nukes? I think so...and as Okaly said, other ways should be explored to take him out, rather than just war...but certainly war would be an option if nessesary.
Fact is, many of us know little about WWII, and what Hitler was capable of. There is so much info that will never be released. I bet our grandparents could tell us a thing or two from those days...and how it effects the way they feel about this conflict.
Lastly - Scratcher, let me just say that you are quite possibly the most idiotic person on the planet. I won't even give proof of why, as others can simply read the garbage you have posted above.
I really want to stay out of this, so I won't even get into my feelings on the current conflict, other than to say that Okaly and redink, seem to be on the right track.
