I usually don't endorse mindless babble but after reading all of this I felt obligated to drop in my two cents. Before I start I want to echo the sentiments of one of our finest presidents "Abe Lincoln" he said that he wanted to be "First in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen" and I agree wholeheartedly I believe in avoiding a fight if at all reasonably possible but when the time comes I believe in striking hard, striking first, and and never giving in till the day is won or I can go no with that said I want all to know that I am amazed at the diversity of opinion and must say I am quite pleased to see that so many people actually care about what si happening because if this matter is not perfectly handled we will fall over a precipice into WWIII.

First of all War with Iraq is inevitable Saddam himself quoted this at the midpoint of Desert Storm in the context of the fact that He would never stop trying to destroy America
2 Saddam is a violent dictator and will continue to harm innocent lives to further his own personal gain this is not conjecture it is fact which he proves by ordering military action against Israel for starters and documented oppression of his own people when there is a failure to conform to his ideals and (or) beliefs. 3. The people of Iraq danced in the streets on the day of the events of 911 in countless interviews the Iraqi people have been quoted saying words to the effect that America deserved what She got. This is a nation prepared for War with the greatest superpower in the worldthey are not tolerant they are extremist willing to got to war with a country that will surely decimate them. And not because it is right but because of Jealousy paraded around as a holy cause(Jihad). It is a fact that the leaders of every nation in the world hates , fears, and envies the U.S., because if her freedom and her belief the ultimate rights of the people! the simple fact is that Iraq as well as many other countries protesting this war are worried about what will happen when their cultures see that there is a better way.I do not propose needless War but I will not be silenced and put in a corner while my friends and family die because I "Worried" what others might think or because I wanted to be "Tolerant" of a "Despotic dictator" and a country full of "Extremist" willing to dance for joy at the the deaths of thousands of my innocent countrymen!
I for one will not go quietly into the night. I hope to be on the front lines defending the rights and priveleges of each and every one of you whether you agree or not. I say let Freedom reign supreme strike up arms and be proud of your nation that will not allow itself to be defeated at the hands of a tyrant. God Bless America
