Interesting debate. I am opposed to an invasion of Iraq at this point. Many seem to think that Saddam is planning some big attack on the U.S. I don’t understand why he would have waited so many years after the last time we clipped his wings. Saddam knows he can’t win against the U.S. If he were to stage an attack, we could probably blow Iraq off the map with one or two nukes. He knows this, why would me mess with the U.S. now? He is a madman and a dictator, no doubt. But while we can’t believe his propaganda of his people being happy, we should also carefully scrutinize the media mass of propaganda that is being forced at us to support this “war.” Maybe the people of Iraq don’t want democracy! Why must we insist on forcing it down their throats? Or forcing it on any other country for that matter? We will leave rich trade countries like China alone, but we insist on making the poor countries into democracies. This concept of forcing ideas almost seems un-American to me. To me, this war is about oil, fuel to make the richest people in the U.S. even richer, while the poor people continue to get poor. Do you think that they poor in the U.S. love democracy? And unfortunately, it will not be the rich fighting this war, it will be the middle and working class young men that will lose their lives in the interest of increasing the profits of the richest 5% of America.
