For or against?[ 30 votes ]
1. Kill 'em all... in fact... gimmie a gun 9 / 30%
2. I'm anti-war... but now it's started I'm backing it 9 / 30%
3. I'm anti war and think we should quit now 10 / 33%
4. What war? 2 / 7%

Here's my take on it....

Bad idea. It's a lose lose situation for bush/blair. If we find "weapons of mass destruction" (WOMD from now on) then hoorah!! We were right to do this, now who's next.... North Korea? China? etc... In other words once we've sorted these guys out... why not sort out everyone else too? IF WE DON'T find any WOMD then bugger.... we just went to war for no reason.

I say no reason.... I gather there are reasons... allow me to show a quick few couple...

1. Iraq, or Saddam to be more exact, has broken many UN sanctions and regulations and should be stopped.
2. Saddam has "harboured international terrorists".


Now then.....
1. Israel has broken over 100. Why not stop them? The answer (I'm gonna get shot for this one I can feel it) is Jews. Jewish people hold alot of sway in the US, there are many strong ties between Israeli Jews and the Jews that have helped presidents like Bush (jr) and Clinton into power. As such if the US stormed into Israel and threw some weight around.. they'd annoy alot of people.... people who have power and connections to people in the US... wave bye bye second term.
2. I'd call this "shock and awe" tactic an act of terror. By it's own admission it's an act of terror. You scare the bejesus out of people so they give in. Granted it's not like flying an airplane into a major city... it's mor like dropping a couple of hundred bombs into a city... daily.

There are a whole host of reasons why we are in Iraq... but do any of them actually justify a war?

Look at the Kurds - we attack Iraq and the Kurds get SCUDs launched at them!! Granted it's because Iraq can't touch the US or UK with SCUDs from that distance... but they're attacking peolpe all the same.

I'm against the war for a few reasons - a) there are bigger problems in the world than Saddam. b) where do we go from here? We've attacked Afghanistan to find Bin Laden... he's still wandering around a free man - but no-one cares because we're after Saddam now. When Saddam
