[sg]the0ne:You seem a bit confused...
Confuzed? Posibly, but I came here seeking to releve that issue, not to be insulted.
NeoSaber:It's hard to deal with many problems at once. If you want, make a list and we'll see what we can do.
I would say To Shay, but I can't spell, so this is all you get; "Good Point"

I do not have any hard facts, nor do I intend to pretend that I do. I am not here to enforce my views on others, or to even try to change your minds. I entered this discussion with the intent of increasing my knowledge of the situation, to increases my understanding of the war. I came here to make a more stable and informed point of view. I have considered the facts that you have produced, and I have evaluated them and taken them into consideration. And by this, I still come to the conclusion that war is not necessary. Short of an attack on my homeland, I do not know what would bring me to believe that war is necessary. Killing is wrong, no matter the reason. Anything I could say to try to convince you of this fact will simply be countered with some link or several paragraphs of meaningless text, which will not improve anything. As for your comments that I believe were made to enrage me, I will simply take note of, and move on.

While I do not personally like the fact that we are at War, there is nothing that I can do about it. It has happened, we are there.
Here are a few facts that I'm pretty sure everyone allready knows, as they have been well televised and talked about. However I was searching for something to support another debate and thought they do prove relevent to the debates found in this forum.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/17/sprj.irq.main/index.html ~ Bush gave Saddam Hussein 48 hours for him and his sons to leave Iraq, or the US would begin military action.
http://www.cnn.com/2003/US/03/17/terror.alert/index.html ~ As a nation, our national terror alert level was raised from "Yellow" to "Orange"
http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/03/20/irq.war.saddam.transcript/index.html ~ Saddam Hussein, in response to the military actions taken against Iraq before the 48 hour time period was complete, declars war on the US today (Thursday, March 20, 2003).
I have allready stated personal opinions I have about this war in another thread, I won't bother to post them again. The time has now come for me to (though reluctantly) support President Bush's decision, and hope that this war does not last very long, sparing as many innocent lives as possible.
I do believe that the following article is relevant to those who wish to continue with these threads. If you don't want to read it, it simply says that throughout history, there have always been debates about going to war, and it also discusses how the public opinion should be of no less consequence then the Presidents final decision to go to war. It is entitled "What Ever Happened to Protest? Speak Up: A democratic nation has a sacred and historic duty to debate any choice for war"
