I am really sorry to say it, but you people have been successfully brain washed by your media totally controlled by your government.

Each and every sentense of your posts raised a lot of arguments in me.

First of all Bush is "THE HITLER" in the current situation. He just wants to have it all!!! It is all about OIL OIL AND OIL!!! Read posts below.

Iraq does not have any weapons of mass destruction, if your are watching the inspectors reports carefully (they were sent there to find evidences, remember?). American troops are gathering around Iraq while it is not even proved that Iraq is a thread to the USA!!!

I do respect old women's opinion, my grand parents too survived the WWII. We Russians do appreciate the help of US troops, even though we could win the war without such help.

But another thing I want to say is that USA does not have any right to initiate any military actions against innocent people (Iraqi civilians) just because it did a good thing back in fourties.

Yes, Saddam is not a good leader for Iraq, but who are we to decide what is good or bad for Iraqi people?

They don't want the war and we have to respect their opinion if we really want to "help" them.

Yes, he was cruel with his neighbours, but who is perfect?

Every country has been aggressive at least once though its history.

Why doesn't USA attack, for instance, France or any other country, posessing weapons of mass destruction, for the same stupid reasons as Iraq? Just because once upon a time there was Napoleon or some other leader who was aggressive.

I am sorry to be rude and say that it is none of the USA's business what is going on in Iraq, and between Iraq and its neighbours.

There is not even a slightest hint of thread for USA from Iraq! The hypothetical weapons of mass destruction, if any of them remained since the Gulf war would have already lost their effectivness. Biological weapons ingredients are far not ever lasting.

Anyway, even if we in our wildest dreams assume that those weapons exist there, how can Saddam possibly physically apply them on USA?

The government has sold the public a bill of goods in that most American people still believe their government makes war only for feel-good "humanitarian" reasons and not political reasons to enhance the US government's influence.

There has not been a major armed conflict in history fought for humanitarian rather than political reasons, but government public relations machines are remarkably well-funded and persuasive!!!

So Perhaps Your "outside" America sources are a little biased, just like CNN.
The world is spinning and so are your sources!
Oil, give me a break. What, we can't afford to buy it so we gotta go steal it. America has more oil than your sources let on. Enough for many generations. If we don't buy others oil then they can't produce much of an economy and we can't import or export goods with them. America keeps the economy of this world going.
If Saddam chooses to defy the UN and the USA and we sanction and embargo, as a result, it's Saddam's choice and his fault that the people starve. If cared about his people then he would comply. He would be compassionate to his people to just do what's right. His choice, his fault.
If I tell you not to take a certain road because there is a hidden drop off,and you ignore my warning, load up the car with your relatives and drive off he drop off, it's not my fault for warning you. No one to blame but YOU.
And no one to blame but Saddam for this war.
His people will die because of him. And those that live will be liberated because of America.

Even if Saddam is getting weapons together, what do you have to say about the embargo that has been killing civilians for 10 years? or doesn't that bother you? Embargoes are cowardly acts of terror against civilians. These ACTS OF WAR are actually invasions of another countries sovereignity, they are not official declarations of war against a foreign army. What, actually, is the difference between the blowing up of buildings kind of terrorism, where many innocent civilians die, and an EMBARGO? Tell me about the nobility of the American war machine. So, if we're going to protect ourselves and the rest of the world by invading that country anyway, then why did all the "GOOD" people force an embargo on them all these years? We never had a right to place an embargo on their country.
