It's not about moral issues, its about the mess which has happened afterwards. I live in the UK, and I think we shouldn't have, I mean, Saddam is still out there, probably in the middle of nowhere saying 'Nah-nah-nah-nah-nah you can't catch me', while soldiers are dying cause Bushy wanted to go to war. I mean, Saddam doesn't have nuclear weapons, I believe IF he has them he's taken them with him so they can't find them until they find him.

I mean, yeah, the US was justified with Afghanistan, but Iraq? What has Iraq ever done to them? North Korea poses more of a threat, and yet Bush and Blair doesn't want Japan to start a war with NK by launching a first strike on Pyongang.

I suggest Bush do like they did in Afghanistan, get a local guy to rule, and get out of Iraq before more young people are killed.

Do you agree?

I am from America and I had doubts about Afganistan. I mean we put the damn Taliban in power and trained Bin Laden. But yeah Iraq... I knew Bush was an idiot, but Blair surprised me. We can't find any traces of a weapons program let alone the "emminent threat" that was all hyped up prior to the war. Now it's all Saddam was bad so it's ok we did it. Bastards in the Bush administration. Sure Saddam sucks and he's bad and on and on, but he's still out there living the good life probably on some beach while the Iraqi people are dying and getting angry about it and killing us. So whose better off for this war. Nobody... well that's a lie, American oil corporations are doing pretty good, but I say fuck them and fuck Bush.

PS I'm knew and I'm not sure if I'm allowed to say fuck... if not just tell me and my bad.

OH yeah, and no we can't just put a local guy in and leave like Afghanistan. All the Bush Admin is saying is how nice they are for not doing that and trying to help Iraqis. If they lose that sound clip they have nothing to justify the war.

Yes we were right to go to war. yes people are dying, thats why they call it 'War' and not pillow fighting.

I think it would be wise I stay out of this one - my opinions are well documented! :)

also well documented is your inability to end sentances without some kind of smiley.
