How strange it is that so many Republicans have picked up the administration's line in an attempt to frighten the American people into voting in favor of the war. Yet these same people simply over-llok the way this war came about. It was nothing like WWII where the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It was nothing like Korea where the North attacked 'our' ally.

In Vietnam we had been instrumental in the establishment of the South Vietnamese government and so felt constrained to defend them even if our involvement was somewhat suspicious.

But just what is the connection in Iraq? As we moved closer to the war, the administration gave one justification after another for why we had to knock of Saddam---everyday something knew from Bush or Cheney or Rumsfeld or Powell.

Of course, now we know that all of those reasons were unjustified, that the administration was unjustified to one degree or another in all of its accusations....well, that Saddam was a rat might have been correct...so why are we still there, squandering our youth and our wealth? Is there any other reason than that George Bush wants to? Of course, the ruch to get soldiers on the ground meant that then the claim could be made that we had to support the troops----and this is exactly what has been happening. We are supporting a bunch of American mercenaries. Sure I hate it when I see the number---today, 2834 dead---and for what? What are we gaining? We hear George Bush and his minions touting success. But just what the hell are we gaining except a world full of ill will? And a growing (hidden) debt.

Take a really good look at this website and maybe you'll get it, talk to a family of a fallen soldier. That is jus ASININE comparing Bush to Saddam.

About the same time Bill Clinton will go on trial for the bombing of the "alledged" chemical factory in Sudan....

No??

How about around the time he, along with the UN, go on trial for crimes against humanity for their utter contempt and disdain for human life in the nation of Rwanda?? 500,000 known killed and murdered....

No??

How about the killing of Chinese embassy personnel during our bombing of Kosovo....

No??

Maybe we can tack on the bombings of Bahgdad under his watch, which also killed innocent Iraqis....

QUESTION: "When does George Bush go on trial for murder?"
REPLY: When your pathetic little opinion actually means something in the world or when hell freezes over; whichever comes first.

Why would he go on trial, when congress gave him the authority to go into Iraq? Democrats voted for it also, even though Kerry changed his mind.

There are families of fallen soldiers who need to believe that their sons died for a reason. There are other families who believe that their sons died for NO good reason, and they are pissed. Problem is, we STILL don't know the real reasons for Bush's invasion and occupation Iraq.

Bush couldn't read a map!

They were ALL negligent. But, like the telephone schemers who rip ignorant little old ladies off for their SS checks, the masterminds STILL belong in prison. Correct?
