I have always wondered why its taken so long to get around to this war?
I hope when it's over, that Saddam is dead and only a few people on both sides have died.

-Will the curds finally get a homeland, or a state?
The Turks have already said that if the Curds try and set up a small nation of their own, they will 'circumvent and prevent any government from forming,' that the curds create. Aren’t they our allies? It’s amazing how our allies want to rip each other’s throats out.
-Some, for many reasons don’t want to do anything. I don’t care what weapons Iraq has, all I care about is the people we are going in to liberate. The last time we screwed up, this time our leaders will get it right. If they don’t……..

- The curds are ready to put up, I think but am not sure on the numbers, 70,000 blokes to help with the war. They want a state, they also want protection from the Turks. You see we owe them big. The last time we got them to raise up against Saddam, we left them to be slaughtered. He gassed out entire villages, I wonder when they were lying there chocking on their own lungs as the mustard gas or the VX killed them, did they think 'hay those allied troops will be here any second to help us out.' All we did was watch the devastation on fox news.

-As for pacifism, it never stopped a war. It never started one either. A problem I see, is that the guy in front of you might well be a good person, but it wont stop him from cutting your throat, even if deep down in side you know he's a good person.
I would like to think that I was a good person. But I’m not. I'm just an opinionated crip who lives on top a big fucking hill in a country called England.

-Why does every body here insist on bringing up WW2? There have been lots of wars and a shit load of cases of ethnic cleansing since then... any body remember Bosnia? Remember how we sent peace keepers there, how they watched all those people being killed. Remember Rwanda, Oman, Yemen, I can name ten others. I can tell you, that in all these places and many others, the UN fucked up big time. I remember when Hootoos and Tutses were killing each other and no one gave damd until it was over. Not long ago Bosnia started going to shit again, still is. Peacekeepers have been there a while and more were due to be sent. America used a Veto, they didn’t want any of there troops dieing there. Shame really. I never did hear what happened after.

-Remember it took the deaths of 70,000 in Kosovo before any body gave a shit, and even then the only reason the damd thing got on TV was because all the poor bastards fleeing for their lives wanted to get to another country were they would be safe. How long did we turn a blind eye, and that goes for the whole UN. I bet if we didn’t see those people trudging threw the snow the war may not have happened.
Good thing it did though.

- At least this time we are going to do something about Iraq.
I have family over there who will be fighting and fixing the aircraft on site. I hope when its finished they come back safe, and have some good stories.
Please feel free to flame away. I wanted only to put a different line of thought in to this doomed thread. Its been fun reading though. Even if it was a waste of time.

Yossarian Lives!
