Yes I do... I 100% support an attack on those Saudi scum... I also support an attack on the Iranian fanatics and the Pakistani losers... these countries remain a threat to us and Israel... Iraq is defenseless, and doesn't pose a threat... I would prefer that we use our weapons elsewhere on the real threats...

The reasons are manifold... here are a few:
a) the continued and unquestioned military and political support for Israel
b) the continued propping up of puppet regimes as a means of establishing US military bases, in order to foster US regional geopolitical and resource control
c) unilateral, non-mandated military action (which is precisely what Sept 11 was from the viewpoint of many Muslims and, indeed, many non-Muslims), by the USA on Muslim civilian populations and their infrastructure

I agree that the reasons for Muslim anger have little to do with religion... the reasons have everything to do with the infringement of sovereignty, the Israeli issue, and the extraction of natural resources through coercion, on US terms...

LMAO. Thank you CT. I was worried that the markets would eventually burn up all the easy money. I now see that there is a nearly endless supply.

Since you did me a favor, here's one for you.

I was worried too... but it's great to have all the idiots alive and well...

And thanks for bringing up my well-made points...

Now let's get on with bombing the Saudi scum, the Iranian fanatics and the Pakistani lunatics... these are our real threats... AMEN...

Iran, in particular, is much more of a threat to the USA and Israel, than Iraq could ever be... we are bombing the wrong people... we should be bombing the Iranians, Saudis and Pakistanis...

I am an American, and I certainly believe that the US has the right to defend itself against legitimate threats to its security. I do not, however, feel that the administration has made a strong enough case to justify the kind of general invasion that is currently being contemplated. But all the international stage play aside, there is one question which haunts me:

Why is the US so concerned about Iraq right now when the Israelis don't seem to be much bothered about them?

Remember (if you can) about 20 years ago, when Iraq started to build a nuclear reactor? The Israelis wasted no time bombing it to rubble, and without a UN show trial and an international coalition.

The US case against Iraq is built on "intelligence". But what nation on Earth has the best intelligence, certainly in the Middle East, maybe anywhere? Answer: Israel.

So if Saddam really does possess weapons of mass destruction, and the means to deliver them even as far as Tel Aviv, doesn't it follow that the Israelis would have bombed those facilities to rubble by now, like they did 20 years ago?

sax

Gee Sax, you think you have all the answers don't you ?

The point is, as if 'clear thinking' people like yourself didn't really already know, that Israel is very concerned about how other nations perceive them.

Remember how much they were condemned when they bombed the Iraqi reactor so many years ago ?
