I don't know a ton about politics, and the details of this war.
<br>I only know what the Government TELLS me.
<br>I only know what the media TELLS me.
<br>
<br>That's it. If the government and the media have told us EVERYTHING (im sure the media has told us everhting they know) then yea, you might have a point. I'm pretty sure there is more to this than we know.
<br>
<br>Our leaders are running the worlds most powerful nation. They are EXPERTS. We don't have IDIOTS in office. Period. If we did (or do), we have 5 more competent people standing around to stop that one fool from fucking up. The presedent doesn't pick up a phone and say "Good morning Galdis... I'll have 2 eggs sunny side up, bacon, and some OJ. Oh, and tell Colin that I want to invade Iraq later tonight"
<br>
<br>If I remember correctly, the Presedent can declare a state of war for ninty days, withough Congress' concent. After 90, if Congress doesn't like it, it doesn't happen. And I don't think it's full blown war either... it's like just moving troops in or soemthing. Shit I don't know. The POINT is, there are checks in place. If this war was a BAD idea, SOMEONE WOULD HAVE SAID SO. Bush might have some preset bias, but he wouldn't put our country in jepordy because his daddy didn't finish the job. As far as I'm concerned, our ONLY problem is we have a habbit of putting our nose where it doesn't belong. But if we even have a HUNCH that someone is working agenst us, then fuckem, we at least have the right to walk in there and inspect everthing TOP TO BOTTOM, without any bullshit. That means we GO WHERE WE WANT, PUT PLANES WHERE WE WANT, and if nessiary, TAKE WHAT WE WANT. We arn't some tyrant ass hole country. Sure, I bet we have powerplayed our status a few times, but I doubt we want to take over Iraq because we like camels. Our presence ANYWHERE, to secure the peace, should be allowed. I don't care if Kuait ivades Saudia, or Iraq takes Iran, or the brits take over france. I could care less. I care when some guy thinks to himself "Hm, god damn I hate americans, ima bomb them". That's where we need to be. If Iraq is REMOTLY a threat, I say it becomes glass.
<br>
<br>Bottom line :
<br>If our leaders say "War", we are at war. Have faith in those that know more than you do.
