I wonder if the dead and the people who lost family members would think it was worth it?
USA has a a power grid go down for 3 days and its news all over the world ,but they havent had power or clean water for how long.
I dont belive any polls taken by anyone due to there always after a result and the questions are alway in a certain direction EG: to make one side feel there just in killing and invading someone elses country.
I dont beilive any one in power and what we see as news is  the view of a few powerful people that controll the media.

A poll is just a waste of money ,the real way to tell what the poeple feel about the invasion is how many troops will be killed and the steet party that happends after a us or brit troop is killed ,ive got a good frinds just back from the war this week and she tells a very different story to the new and polls that are taken.

to me a more interesting poll would be ,what do the americans think about going broke for the war ,a poll i saw last night said that theres been a 17% increase in poverty in the us in the last year ,and less spending at home on your services than ever.
All because apparently saddam was going to get the USA ?
with what i not sure but how anything is possible.

Dont get me wrong i am a aussie and i like the usa or i sould say its people which we sould be at war aginst due to the lack of power we have over them anymore and the more war and silly polls about the bad guys only makes for less freedom for us all.

the biggest difference at the moment is there was no war and pollies are doing nothing appart from maybe losing the next election,so why not distract the masses with yet another war that no one knows why it started or why 300 billion + has been spent ,and on what .

anyway ,lifes like that  due to the feeling that we are made to feel ,or try to speak out and see how its not nice living behind bars for using your right to protest aginst the state.

Brian washing is apart of life for us all,we sould remmber that we have a brain to use and think for ourselves from time to time ,not just be told how it is .

Polls are great if they get about 100.000 opions other wise its not worth looking at most polls have a 3% error margin which is 3000 people being misplaced in a poll .

But plian as day having my house blowen up no water ,power food etc the death of friends ,family etc  wouldnt make me happy and any one silly enough to ask me if it did make me feel better would get a sharp and not sweet reaction .

But after all saddam was a bastard ,before gulf war 1 he had the best schooling in the world, free medical for all ,the best welfare system ,and some of the most amazing engenering feats on the planet.
 who would have wanted that ,they were sure better of being bombed ,then the world cutting them off ,eg no food medical supps , i am sure there happy that over 500.000 of there kids die as a result of sactions imposed by the us and the UN ,

theres alway more to every story then we could know ,and i not pretending i know more than anyone else.

But if some countrys didnt play 2 sides at the same time no of this would happen ,
telling iran to steal oil from saddam wasnt a smart move and paying for illegal oil with weapons isnt the right way to trade with a dangerous nation.
thats what started the gulf war 1.
and i dont blame saddam for being pissed ,if some did the same to me i get my fur up too.

so enough whining for me i ran out of chesse .

Bigsky,  thanks for the link.  I will send it to my father-in-aw.

Everytime I see my father-in-law I ask him how the country is doing, he replies, "Still going down the toilet with Bush in there!"

Im starting to agree with him!

Let me get this straight. Our power grid is ancient and out of date, causing rolling black outs, and just plain blackouts. Our power plants are old and out of date. Our factories are old and can't compete. Our fire depts are being downsized. Our police depts are being downsized. Our roads and bridges are crumbling. Our schools are old and school budgets are being cut, some schools don't have enough books and paper. Funding for student loans are being cut. Iraq sits on the largest oil reserves in the world. And YOU tell me that we owe it to Iraq to rebuild THEIR country? huh??

Who sounds like the liberal now?

Umm, You, you whiney little biatch.;) J/K

Power Grid Ancient: Still works. 2 Stinkin Black outs in 30 years. WOW..what a catastrophe.

Our Factories Can't compete: U.S. is a service economy now. The Industrial age is behind us.

NYPD: About the largest it's been ever.

Student Loans cut: Bout time the little tree huggers get a job!

We don't owe anyone anything, but it's the right thing to so.

Stop listening to the news...the sky is not falling.

How can anyone not get it that we need to be over there in that part of the world??

As far as I'm concerned, I don't care about WMD - whether they are there or not. It just doesn't matter. We need to be over there.

I don't know whether Bush and Blair "sexed up" a rationale to invade Iraq. I just don't care.

I see Bush's job as doing whatever it takes to keep America secure. On the grand scale, if the world were a giant chess board, its obvious (to me) that we need to be over there.

I never expect politicians to tell the truth to the people. I don't believe we can effectively interact in a world where it is only Americans that have to be transparent, while every other country is allowed to withold the whole truth, or to be covert, or deliberately decieve.

I'm not saying that I believe Bush and Blaire have deceived the world or the Americans and British about why we needed to invade Iraq. I'm just saying I would understand if they did do this.

You must be new to rolling blackouts and midwest power plant pollution in the east(acid rain)

Our Factories Can't compete: U.S. is a service economy now. The Industrial age is behind us.

Yeah, not a factory in the U.S.

NYPD: About the largest it's been ever.

I could not dig up info to confirm this( you did not supply a link

Student Loans cut: Bout time the little tree huggers get a job!

Yeah, a nation of burger flippers, that will make us a great nation( I guess all those foreigners we are training can come fill the good jobs)

We don't owe anyone anything, but it's the right thing to so.

So let's give all our $$ to every poor nation( cause it's the right thing to do

Stop listening to the news...the sky is not falling.

No, but the value of my dollar is

Well... technically, you can't really have a war until the other side shows up... nevertheless... I believe Bush declared a victory in Iraq and IIRC, it was while showboating on an aircraft carrier.
