What will the world gain if Saddam is removed from power:

1. Iraqi will have an opportunity to taste freedom and install a government they chose.
2. The neighbors of Iraq will no longer fear invasion by Saddam.
3. This regime represents a potential source for weapons for terrorist. The people of the USA will feel safer.
4. The Iraqi people will be free from fear. Oil will be a wealth that all Iraqi people will participate.
5. One less dictator the world will have to tolerate.
6. Perhaps the new Iraq will help change the Middle East from kingdoms and theocracy to governments that the people participate as a force.

I’m sure you can think of other things that this will change.

I have to wonder why so many around the world are so afraid of these changes? It seems this minority thinks that people desire to be ruled by religious thugs and dictators! Or is it they just fear change as they think it may affect them. Or is it they are just fearful.

Certainly, the U.S. had some assistance, but we liberated ourselves.

Revolution is something everyone should consider while they are waiting for the U.S. to work its way down the list of oppressed peoples in need of liberation.

Great sandman. Hows the best way to draw a bead on you?

I'm sorry... I'm just not liberal enough to think that liberating the oppressed people of the world is something I want my tax dollars to be spent on.

Sorry...

Aper great thinking!
I think this would be a perfect job for the brave soldiers of the former USSR. You guys put Kim in power, now clean up your mess.

Where my tax dollars are concerned, I'm in it for the U.S.

If I want to give money to the world, there's UNICEF.

FYI, don't lay down in the street at Harvard on Tuesdays. Rumor has it there's a tan Jaguar who's owner has meetings there on that day, and he's been known to whack protestors in his way.

There's another option... it's called a vote. My vote ain't much, but you can bet that in 2004, Bush won't be getting it from me.

LOL Funk!

North Korea is in no way a threat to anyone. It is simply rediculous!

Funked, just try to think it from the other point of view:

What will the world gain if George W Bush is removed from power:

1. All countries in the world will have an opportunity to taste freedom and install a governments they chose.
2. All countries in the world will no longer fear invasion by George W Bush.
3. This regime represents a potential source for weapons for terrorist. All countries in the world will feel safer.
4. All countries in the world will be free from fear. UN will be a wealth that all countries in the world will participate.
5. One less ... (hmm, put here something) the world will have to tolerate.

a vote? just a vote sandman? what.. no backbone? no spunk? no conviction? no protest beyond a few swipes at a gaming bbs on the subject?

just a 'vote'?

if it makes yah feel any better, i ain't voting for him next time around either, but for other reasons. not that i voted for him this time for that matter. in the meantime, our boys are gettin hosed.. and i'm gonna back 'em up, and try to get 'em home by showing support.. not undermining their actions or their mission.

Aper, I tried to think of it from those points of view.

Honestly, I did.

But I kept breaking out in huge guffaws of laughter on each one.

Sorry.
