Neo.
American soldiers aren't going to die for Bush, they're going to die because the Iraqis are too spineless to be their own freedom fighters.
Iraqi soldiers aren't going to die to defend their country from foreign invasion, they're going to die to defend a pseudo-fascist party that holds a vast number of Arabs and Kurds hostage in their own state.
It's not "other countries can't" it's "other countries who want to lob them at us brutally and unexpectedly" can't. I tend to support this.
Burns.
The UN and NATO are sensibly the same thing. The US would have less countries opposing them (only France and Germany as opposed to those two plus China and Russia), but also less banana republics ala Angola to bribe into voting for their resolution, thus no progress.
Retard.
6-day victory against Palestine, right. US next Israel, right. Your French minority says S.T.F.U., champ. Your obvious geostrategist genius overwhelms us all, let us take a breather here.
Darunia.
If the world has it its way, a stray bomb will hit a suburb of Baghdad, kill a few thousand people, and be remembered as mark of the infamous Evil Yankee Invasion of 2003. Don't expect history to bend to such details as newfound freedom of speech and prosperity. It's a sad state of affairs. The Left's new rallying cry is "Better to live on your knees than to die standing", Che be damned.
As for Canada: the Canadian army is a long and dull joke, this was made so in order not to break with the tradition of having everything government-related entirely ridiculous. You don't even want them, trust me. They'll show up in Basra with arctic camouflage and crash their faulty helicopters in ways strangely reminiscent of Japanese "floating chrysanthemum" suicide attacks when you ask for air support.
Weltall.
I am for the war on Iraq and on the Ba'ath Party in particular, but don't start with the "obligation of following America's lead" bullshit or I will very quickly turn evil dastardly communist/nazi/terrorist/bad-guy du jour on your ass. The world owes fuckall to America. You weren't even born when the second World War ended or for decades after that, don't desecrate your ancestors' memory by taking their acts for yours.
ABF.
You seem to talk a lot and not really say anything but give poll numbers. This is all well and good, except if you consider that the majority rarely has any idea what the fuck they're going on about. The very fact that the majority supports an idea is usually a very good hint that there's something wrong with it. The more people, the more idiots: it's proportional, it's logical, and you said it yourself. People are stupid. Surprise, "your people" too.
Yes, the army of the United States of America is going into Iraq. Yes, they are going there to free the inhabitants of that land from the iron grip of a dictator. Yes, they will exact a heavy toll in blood and oil for this liberation. By refusing to oust him, and therefore causing threat and actual harm to both themselves and people outside Iraq, the people of Iraq have caused these events to happen. I am, however, certain that they are willing to endure that hellfire cover their country for a few days or weeks if it means the final removal of the Ba'ath Party.
