Subject: RE: BS: AGAINSTor FOR the WAR
I'm against war, but I'm even more strongly opposed to this Iraq war.

In warfare, the more powerful side wins. Is that a civilized way to settle conflicts? In most wars, both sides see their cause as right, and there is usually a strong element of evil on both sides. In this particular war, George Bush has failed to prove that Saddam, no matter how evil he may be, is any threat to the United States. And while the evil Saddam has survived quite well so far, many innocent people have been killed, including many noncombatants.

On the other hand, I have to admit to being torn. Now that we're in it, I don't care to see the Americans lose. I just want to see peace.
