I don't understand why so many people here just keep on bellyaching about what is going on like Chicken Little. They keep repeating the same mantra about 3000 explosive, destructive bombs aimed directly at millions of innocent victims. They pay no attention to the types of bombs, how they are being deployed or what the strategy is. There are already millions of innocent victims that the war would help and I don't think they are the target of the military.

Everybody's quality of life gets better every day here in the USA. Even for the downtrodden I think their quality of life is not too good but it is getting better. How is the quality of life in Iraq and NK? These bellyachers don't consider how things are going down hill for others in the world. When they tear down Bush they are causing despair to the people that are under a dictatorship. They can't express that despair.

I have seen posters held by people in other parts of the world saying "Help us Bush". A news man in Baghdad was eating by himself in a restaurant and someone whispered to him behind his back "good luck America". These are not of the magnitude of millions marching but these people cannot express their feelings and these small glimpses tell me that the administration is doing good and not evil. They are giving hope to people in bad situations that have no other way to get out.

Then again you can always listen to the opinion of people that escaped from Iraq. I have never heard of anybody that escaped from America; spill the beans about how bad things really are there.

Wars have been fought, people died and people were liberated. Would we be living in Utopia if there were never any wars?

If assholes like Saddam and Kim Jung IL get their way, what does that do for the quality of life 5 or 10 years from now? The citizens of those two countries will still be under tyranny and it will be many times harder to do anything about it. Plus other dictators will follow the lead.

I just don't see any logical way that war can be avoided or any reason to make it harder on the alliance to win the war.

All this stuff about inspections working is Déjà vu all over again. If we depend on inspections, in 10 years we will be right where we are now but in a much weaker position to disarm Iraq and cause a change of regime.
