Thread Name: BS: Millions Marching for Peace!
Subject: RE: BS: MILLIONS MARCHING FOR PEACE!
as much as I hate war, Im with old guy, on this one.
interesting that the other side resorts to name calling and insults.
people marched for peace in 91. If we had heeded them, Saddam would
still be in Kuwait, (and who knows where else, and who knows where the Kurds would be)

(I remember the arguments they made
that Saddam could have been forced out with sanctions)
(same sanctions people protested about later-
the children dying because of lack of medicine - while at the same
time Saddam orders 1000s of cases of Scotch, and builds palaces)

the only reason the inspectors were even allowed in- is the threat
of US force-

Its not up to the US to go and take out bastard dictators,
but the world has changed over the last few years, you have terrorists
who would use whatever weapons they could against the west.
and you have dictators with oil money financing their weapons building
and at some point - those paths will cross.
