One more thing to consider. Many peop-le seem to believe that War and violence never solves anything but history proves otherwise time and again. Whether or not it is 100% necissary or even wise for the US to prosecute a war against Iraq right now the fact is that the Iraqi people will be a lot better off after the war is over. Yeah there will be an occupation. (Just as there was in Germany and Japan) But in the end (Taking the huge risk of assuming the morons in this administration can do anything right) The Iraqi people will have their freedom and a chance to have a bright future I remember all the (For want of a better term, dirty hippy whiners :)) Saying how bad it was for the US to pick on poor little afghanistan... Yeah How dare we free those people from a cruel iron fisted bunch of religious nuts? That was awful mean of us wasn't it? Sure they are still poor as dirt and things aren't terribly stable. But now they can at least live their lives and enjoy some very basic pleasures that they were prevented from doing before. One more thing the iraqui's will be able to do when this is all over... Protest without fear of being killed.
