Is the reason for all of this dialoge and exchange on the part of you CWU and you Twig, because you think we are there to capture the oil fields? Or is it because we want to kill Iraqis, or do you think it's because GWB is a war monger? Or what? Do either or both of you think that Sadam does not have WMD. Do either or both of you think that he does not commit atrocities on the Iraqi people?

What in (your minds) do you think prompted the president to undertake this task.

I'm not questioning your right to say what you want , I'm jus curious about your reasons for your beliefs.

Please don't take this post as a condemnation of your opinions just an attempt on my part to understand your reasoning. I respect your right to it and maybe I could learn something.

Really......I think its all about the economy. Something to take our minds off domestic concerns. We don't need their oil. We don't care about the Iraqi people (IMO). The war is illogical and will increase global terrorism. That is a frightening prospect and something I don't think the Bush administration is giving enough thought to.

He is a ruthless dictator. Is he the worst? Absolutely not. I don't agree with the stance the US should be the lone ranger going in and imposing our will on other nation states.

What I am most worried about is what the result of this conflict is going to be on the US. Increased terrorism? What will our position in world politics be after? This could have very bad long range consequences.

And I'm just not seeing the upside. beathead
