Shall we leave Saddam and his regime in power? I don't want to see what might happen if he is attacked.
Generally i hear two reasons as to why the US is planing to attack Iraq other than for oil which i'll leave out of the picture. the reasons being: 1) To end Sadam's reign of terror in his own country. 2) To prevent future attacks on the USA.
1) Yes Sadam should be gotten rid of ..but what happens after he is gone? Do you just walk out to let anouther tyrant take his place? Do you enforce Democracy there so that one can be elected? Do you instate a US citizen as leader to confirm to the rest of the world that you had alterior motifs all along? None of these ideas seem all that good to me i hope your leaders can do better.
2) Well if you want to prevent attacks on the US this isn't the way to do it. Jabba qouted that 80% of americans didn't want to join WW2 before pearl harbor which is alright since a country generally should follow the will of it's people. The difference today is that the majority of the people of the World disaproves of the actions of the US and the number of disidents are getting larger every day. Currently the only countries in which the majority of the people back the US are: the USA and Isreal. When the majority of the world objects to what you're doing maybe you should wait a couple of weeks and get authorization to attack. The US is alienating itself and soon will have no allies as all the world leaders that support you will be gone after the next set of elections.
The next problem is that you are pissing off the Islams. If their terrorist and fundamentalist groups weren't planning to attack the US before ...well lets just say that they've probibly changed their minds and i doubt all their attacks can be stopped. And invading every country that poses a possible threat just isn't an option as the number that do is rising and your allies are dwindling. If you persue that course soon other countries will be forced to say that world domination is the goal and try to stop you.
This is why i disaprove of the war.
This is why i say the US may be inadvertantly creating WW3
So good luck in the war and i hope you know what you're doing.
