| what does every one think of this war we are in. | |

| we're in a forum, but sometimes it does get a bit heated.
thanks for asking | |

| I say we take off and nuke the site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure... | |

| geez, decided I need glasses ... was watching a protest yesterday and I was sure a guy was holding up a sign ...
Ban the Poms - apparently it was ban the bombs  | |

| A bit one sided, i think both sides need to be fighting to classify it as a war.
The fact that Turkey is planning to invade Iraq on the pretense of stopping Refugees is Well bad news. Just what Bush did not want to happen. This war still could destabalise the whole Middle East. Saddam should have been dealt with a long time ago. | |

Shouldnt it be
Iraq - Tyrant(Torture * Killed 2 Million Muslims * Rape Rooms) = Freedom
Guess some people really need to pay attention to what exactly is happening in the world
Either that or you support Saddam
I dont even think the oil Iraq releases really even makes that much a difference in pricing | |

| No, I don't support Saddam. But, there are other leaders as bad as hussein is, we are not invading their country. What about N. Korea? They have thumbed their nose at the rest of the world and restarted their nuclear programs? Their citizens live in fear and paranoia and hunger every day.Are we lining up to invade them? No.., but, there is also a better trained and larger army than Iraq just waiting.
Georgey Porgey is responsible for every death that is a result of the order to go ahead and invade Iraq. In my opinion. | |
|
| I think that before people make stong
anti-american comments and make completely baseless statements about whether this is right or wrong they should view some of the footage being shown. Lots of pictures of Iraqi citizens giving the liberating soldiers thumbs-up, waving to them, kissing them, tearing down posters of that tyrant Hussein and generally smiling a whole lot.
To see all of the 'anti-war' protests is laughable - what the ferk have those protesters done to help the people of Iraq??
Possibly a lot of those protests are organised by people who are more interested in feathering their own nest that the welfare of the Iraqi people.
I salute my Muslim and Iraqi friends who have been downtrodden by their own leaders and like them I look forward to the day that they are free to decided their own futures. | |

I think the protests have done a lot to help the people of Iraq. And because of this the current campaign is making such a huge effort to not only avoid civilian casualties, but Iraqi military casualties as well, ( remember the highway of death in GWI ). All this because of the immense opposition to this war. | |

| there are many thing going on in this world that should not be going on, frist off we need to do something about North karea sp? and there nuke. weapons, saddam should have stoped making weapon and turned them to the UN but he did not, so this gave us the USA a chance to get out of this big difisect sp? we are in, this will help the "new tax cut going on." i have a question, WE HAVE NUKES WHY DONT WE DISARM THEM just becuase we have them why shouldn't other cunrtys have them. and they say we live in freedom, all we want to do is control every one....... | |

That also mean Georgry Porgey is responsible for every man, woman and child who will have a free voice and won't be killed, tortured or raped when they disagree with his opinion
Hmm that doesnt seem to hard a judgment to make
Everytime the price of freedom has been paid, it has been paid in human life
In 1776 we fought a war for our freedom and in 1941 we helped the Allied forces through off tyranny so we have a free choice
IMHO most of the people never grew up with a tyrant in power over them, if they had they would be very glad to get rid of them
As for North Korea, the US is going to try and settle it diplomaticaly first, teh same way they did with Bagdadh | |

The people that bring up NK would be and will be just as mad about what happens to them.. Wether it be Military action or economic Sanctions..
You fix the worlds problems and then we won't have to let Bush do it..
Your no better then Saddam. You'd rather turn your back then do something about it. I hope your family never goes thru what any of these people have, but if they did I guaruntee you that you'd want the US to save your XXX.

| Speaking about North Korea, what do you all make of this:
North Korea’s official news agency claimed Friday that the situation is so tense on the Korean peninsular “that a nuclear war may break out there any moment.”
The official communist news agency said the recent U.S.-South Korean exercises have been timed to coincide with the U.S. invasion of Iraq, as part of America’s “win-win strategy, a key link in the whole chain of its strategy to dominate the world by holding an upper hand in strength, is being put into practice on the Korean Peninsula.”
From newsmax.com
Kinda scary.. | |
|
| Not too stressed about Nth Korea - the Chinese sure as hell don't want a nuke exchange in their backyard so they will bring pressure to bear.
My thought is that there is more likely to be a nuke exchange over Kashmir than on the Korean peninsular. | |
| BlokWatch 2003-03-22, 1:35 am |
| But with N.Korea it won't even need to be nuclear to disastrous either. The first 12 hours most of both nations will be pounded with artilery fire. They say until boarder guns are silenced the north could pound Seoul with close to 2000 artillery rounds an hour. The civilian death toll could be enormous. But on the other hand, N.Korea has no economy at all, if that can sell warheads at 1000% percent markup of cost would they refuse? No inspectors there anymore either. Good point on China too, I just read recently China now has 3 times the economic invenstment in the South than they do in the North. China doesn't want to see the South damaged anymore than we do. | |
| mindmesh 2003-03-22, 9:39 am |
| NK wants attention and they are mad that they aren't getting it. They propagandize their own people because we ignore them. They'll get the attention by the Govt. but not from the American public.. Atleast, not until things in Iraq die down. | |
| Taqwus 2003-03-22, 10:57 am |
| Seems to me the head dude of NK is a little paranoid.
I never really looked into them so I would not know any reasons for it | |

First of all war is never good. However, this war is about a peace treaty that Saddam has broken. After the Gulf War Saddam sign a peace treaty that stated what he can and cannot do. He broke that treaty. In Saddam point is that if we do not fine it, then it does not excites. However, if we do fine it then fine we will get rid of it. That is not how is supposed to be done. We found missiles that he was not suppose to have, Saddam denied he had it then when it was found war could have been declared then. As for Korea we DO NOT have a post time war agreement with them. Korea has broken a UN nuclear treaty. That is the big difference. Yes, the Gulf War treaty is also a UN treaty, but let France and the rest deal with Korea. The South Koreas would love that..NOT! | |

| War is WRONG...FULL STOP
Having served 10 years in the British Army, I still believe that diplomacy is the right way to go.
IMHO Mr "I used to be an alcoholic" Bush, anted war right from the outset.
Now, I don't want any US bod's to get irate or anything, what I want people to do is think; think about what the Iraqi people are going through right now (having their own homes/cities bombed etc ) and tell me that it's right. | |

As it is right now thousands die every month in Iraq from lack of food and medical attention. Soon that will no longer be the case. I guess Bush will burn in hell for that and Sadam will be praised for his efforts to at building himself more and nice homes. How many multimillion dollar palaces were built while his people starved. I love unfounded opions. | |

People should check their information to see who is really funding the peace demonstrations. | |
| BlokWatch 2003-03-22, 4:16 pm |
| I say deport the protestors. How far would a Pro-German demonstration have gotten in the 40s. These protest today are quit different from the Vietnam protests as well. Here they are not protesting unnecessary loss of our boys, they are pinning us as butchers. Lucky its not my choice, I'd hang em. I have real problem too with minority groups immigrating here and then putting the interests of their former home ahead of their new one, go the fcuk home then. These muslim student groups make it clear where their loyalty lives. I'd give em each a cardboard box and a UPS shipping label.
I don't care if 500 people attack my statements. I'm fueled by the thought of our guys over there in war, looking at pictures of their children they are unable to see, then get to see these moronic protestors they are risking their lives to defend. | |

I don't know if there is a such thing as a Guatemalan hero, but I'd imagine you'd like everyone to show them a little respect.. The troops didn't decide to go to Iraq, the were sent.  | |

So how do you like being under Spanish control
Oh wait you have freedom now.
Hmm I wonder
Guatemala was freed of Spanish colonial rule in 1821. During the second half of the 20th century, it experienced a variety of military and civilian governments as well as a 36-year guerrilla war. In 1996, the government signed a peace agreement formally ending the conflict, which had led to the death of more than 100,000 people and had created some 1 million refugees
So according to you all the people who died in your country trying to get your freedom was STUPID | |

Guatemala's former leftist rebel army has
apologized for the abuses it committed during the country's 36-year civil war.
The rebels have been fighting the Guatemalan government for 35 years in a conflict that has left 140,000 people dead or
disappeared.

Communists, anti-semites, socialists, America haters, Bush haters, leftists.
I would love to see a demographic study of the participants. I am sure they are in no way anything even remotely resembling a representative sampling of society. For example, how many Republicans march in anti-war protests? Moreover, why are they marching here? They should be marching in Iraq. After all, it is the surrender of the Iraqi regime which will be the determining factor in stopping this war. There is no way any reasonable person would suggest that we should talk peace with the Hussein regime and once again leave them in power. | |

| I may be an idiot, or unpatriotic, or unamerican or a lot of other things. However, i offered my opinion, if other people disagree, i think that's great. it's called freedom of speech. and i respect other's opinions.
i've read the articles in the paper and followed quite a few of the links other forum members have provided. Saddam Hussein is evil. Kim Il Jong of N. Korea is a paranoid madman who is also depriving his people of a good life, along the same lines as huseein is in Iraq. Does that mean that N. Korea is next? In Zimbabwe, white farmers were kicked off their lands, some murdered, and then the land was "given back" to the blacks. The best were parceled out to families and cronies of the ruler of the country. The farms are in ruins, not producing anything. People are hungry and oppressed, should we attack there next? So, let's have the USA invade all sorts of countries and liberate the people and make a better life for them.
The arguments here are all good and valid, posted by intellegent people. However, my opinion remains the same. it's all about OIL and making more money for Bush & Cheney's texas oilmen buddies. | |

Would be nice huh? History has shown us that once a people are truly free for the first time and choose their own government, chances are they will never allow themselves to become oppressed again. Give then them right to bear arms and you carve their freedom stone. | |

You are right. It is absolutely about oil. It is about oil for France. That country has some very cushy arrangements with the Saddam regime. For that reason they took steps to derail the diplomatic process. This move by Chirac did not prevent war. It accelerated the start of conflict. The Azores leaders wanted the world to unite and give one last ditch diplomatic effort a chance. France said "Up yours". Shame on France. | |

Don't forget about the Russians.. They have a deal on the West Kurna fields 60 Miles North of Basra.. Quite a deal.. 220 Billion barrels in the ground and 120 Billion barrels in reserves.
Yup and the administration is trying to get a trust fund for this oil.. Russia and France were trying to Keep Saddam in power for this oil.
Most people vote on party lines. I fear that is the case with this war. People are mad because he's a republican.. If it were a democrat, though, Republicans would for the most part support the President. It's a damn shame.. I didn't vote for Bush, but watching the actions of the democrats, It will be a long time before they get a vote from me. It is very UNPATRIOTIC to not support your president in a time of war. I don't care what your feelings are.. There are a bunch of kids in the MiddleEast wondering why their citizens don't care about them. When the truth is only a few don't.. I hope it's their kids that die in the next Terrorist attack. Not because I wish them ill but because I'd rather see the terrorist supports get it then the people who would like to see things fixed.
I suggest you do more reading on this conflict because if I had to go thru what an Iraqi would have to go thru for watching a foreign News channel... I can't even imagine having my genitals cut off with carving knife or watching my wife get raped for it. So you can agree with torture all you want, but you don't stop it by talking.. We did have a chance at diplomacy until France, and Russia wimped out. ScumBags.. | |

Hold up. Wait a minute. I love this country and myself. I have never been a fan of Mr. Bush. I wish it were just sour grapes but the man continues to make decisions I cannot support. I support our troops and think the best way to do that is call for their immediate return to our shores. That is unrealistic at this point and I have stopped marching.
Please also remember that many on the "left" do not support the Democratic party. In fact, many feel that both of the major political parties are too conservative. | |

It is a good thing to speak you mind but when it hurts the morale of our troops it needs to stop. I have a cousin in the Marines and he says all the younger guys want to know why the US isn't supporting them.
Thats sad. This 18, 19, 20 year old may die thinking that his country is against him. I don't just blame the protestors I blame the media for buying into it. | |

| The protestor's against war are totaly ilogical people. the main crust of there argument is the possible loss of Civilian Lives. Where have these people been for the last 20 odd years over a million killed by Saddam and his evil cronnies and I haven't heard a blip or seen banner waving protestor,
yet soon as war is declared with the intent on freeing these people, then from nowhere
protestor's from every nuck and cranny. What a pathetic lot, but then again they are from a free democracy and allowed to vioce there opinion. Shame the Iraq'y people can't say the same thing. Just think if they get there way the Iraq'y civilians can look forward to another 12 years of the spineless U.N, led buy the (i'll fly the white flag first French)Chirac, giving them no democracy and another few 100,000 dead who could ask for a better life.
If anyone read the story of Moses even he had to teach Ramases a stiff lesson before he would let the people go, and it wasn't holding a White flag and a little chit chat and slap on the wrist,
For the WAR and best wishes to our lads and lasses in the quest for freedom to the Iraq'y people | |

| People are protesting for various reasons. Some are natural passivists. Many more feel that we have no right to be there. If we wish to support an uprising within Iraq, there are many ways to do that short of open war. There are, unfortunately, many world leaders which we may feel should be deposed. Should we take the same stance in North Korea?
One of the fears that was expressed prior to the beginning of this war was that the area as a whole would be destabilized. If, for instance, Turkey does feel it is in their best interests to move across the border. What then? When the war is over, what happens if the Kurds wish to form their own republic? When the government of Iraq falls, there will be a lot of oil fields without a controlling government.
Just throwing things out there. | |

People are protesting for various reasons. Some are natural passivists. Many more feel that we have no right to be there. If we wish to support an uprising within Iraq, there are many ways to do that short of open war. There are, unfortunately, many world leaders which we may feel should be deposed. Should we take the same stance in North Korea?
Agree. The protestors are making their feelings known about this situation, as we can as americans and our right of free speech. Let 'em yell out, as long as they stay within the law.

The smallest 1 bedroom in Society Hill One block off South Street. Literally around the corner from Jim's Steaks. You can get tired of cheesesteaks.
Where about in Bucks? It's a big county | |

I'm not going to get into the Pat's/Gino's/Jim's thing. People have been shot over that.
This area does take a little getting used to for some. I love it and can't think of anywhere else I would want to live but many people can't give up there cars. People seem to have an affinity for lawns too. I'm always trying to talk people into it. I've been largely unsuccessful.
I haven't been out to Warminster in a bit. I had a bunch of interviews around King of Prussia for some reason before I landed the current gig. Do you know if that's still going on? It always seemed odd. I'd have interviews around the corner or right off the 202 insanity but nothing in between. | |

Your not kidding! I think Pat shot Gino after Jim Robbed him..

I just don't like everyone from Fat Tuesdays taking a leak on my steps.. Also, the taxes don't help the situation much either. They are way too high. Rendell is going to lower them but at the same time raise the income tax.

King of Prussia is a pretty big technical center. Lockheed Martin at least 2 Tech schools.. And hundreds of places that need helpdesk. But I never get hired.. I work for a telecom company in horsham doing Internet Helpdesk... With all the construction going on I don't think I'd really want to work there right now.. But this should be the last year of that. |
