Thread Name: BS: Is Saddam dead yet?
Subject: RE: BS: Is Saddam dead yet?
I would not presume to advocate that, Ebbie...specially if I was living south of the Canadian border.
I recommend peaceful means of stopping the destruction of your democracy at this point...peaceful means can still work, I think.
Likewise, I would have recommended peaceful means of negotiating with Iraq over weapons and other matters. Those means were already working, and working quite well, which is why Russia, Germany, China, and France are now very upset over the totally unnecessary war which has been launched, illegally, upon Iraq.
Resolution 1441 gave no authority to launch a war, and Bush knows it. That is precisely why he tried to have a new resolution passed. It failed miserably. He went to war anyway. He is an international outlaw, and the World knows it very well, but they are not presently well armed enough to stop him. That may change in awhile...as it did for Hitler in 1939, when France and England declared war on Germany. Hitler was shocked to his core when they did. He was expecting them to grumble and complain over Poland, but do nothing more than that.
Iraq is not the final target of Bush's outlaw administration, just as the Czechs and Poles were not Hitler's final target (his next target was to have been Russia, had not the French & English screwed up the game plan in '39). Sooner or later, the international worm will turn unless Americans themselves kick out this crazed administration and mend fences around the World in a very big way.
