Blitz, but Iraqi citizens are threatened by a dictator. To think they are not is rediculous.
So are we in the business of fighting for other peoples freedom?... I think that's a job for Iraqi boys-
I don't want anything to do with freeing Iraq or any other country ... we fought our own war on our soil for that about 200 years back.

Topic:
One thing I always like to remind myself of when reading about Terrorists:
Nazi's called the french resistance terrorists. Viva la France~!
Viva la Palestine?

Somehow I don't think many americans see it that way. Maybe if we all yell Viva la Palestine loud enf it will make sense?
I still remember talking with my sister after she visted the west bank, she was horrified at how the Israelies treated them-That opinion I trust more than any paper I'll ever read or speach I'll hear.
In the end you can't base your pro-war/anti-war ideas on what you think you know .. you know nothing , I know nothing.... but knowing that, I know something.
Words are just aproxamations, generalized by nesscity ... don't get caught up in words. I find too many people thinking in words. Complex thing to talk about but I think it really effects the way people think and mis-think (IMHO). Tell me if you understand me, even if you don't agree.
:Not the same subject on words as above::
Words are why people want war. If they knew the word war would they be so ready to START one? How long did you know the word love before you knew love?
edit:
oh and
Pongo.
Most countries in the world would whipe out the Palastinians if they faced them like the Isrealies do.
So genocide ... like Nazi's did to the Jew's or Euro-Americans did to 'indians'....... so long as you don't claim the moral high ground like the US is tryign to do ... just admit genocide if that's what your after.... and you wonder why us anti-war people think you pro-war'ers are so insane? Or is it misled? ( Yes, we think pro-war folks are insane just as much as you think we are crazy crack head, tree-huggers)
And yes I love my trees

.... imagine Vermont without trees ... we cut them ALL down once... ALL! more or less. I like it better now than pictures I've seen.
