Well, that's just fine and dandy, as long as you remember to bomb the Hell out of all the other countries on that Big List that Dubya drew up- about half the planet, as I recall. That should unite what remains of the World against you.....
And, BTW, wasn't it Ossie Bin Laden who was responsible for 9/11? Can't recall Saddam claiming that one for his own......still, never mind, we all make mistakes. I'm sure all those dead Iraqi civiians won't mind.

'Zero intelligence' rather sums that all up.
And I don't buy this 'need to know' shit: in order to get a convincing mandate for this outrage, WE need to know.
Assuming that this 'evidence' actually exists, of course.......

So to disagree with one aspect of US policy is to be 'anti-American'?
Only a good friend has the right, indeed duty, to tell someone when what they're doing is wrong, wrong, wrong......

The lost of more British servicemen in an helicopter accident in the Gulf this morning makes you wonder if this war is worth it. Will their families be proud that they died on active service....I think not! I think you will find that they will look on it as a life wasted.

What will history say about this war once it's over?

What happens once it's over? Will the people of Iraq be able to live a better life..........one that we in the Western world enjoy?

I hope it all turns out OK- but in the light of recent past evidence (Kosovo/
Afghanistan etc.) I'm not convinced that the 'Allies' have a realistic 'exit strategy' in this case either.

Would not be surprised if the US set up a base in Iraq once the war is over, just so they can have a bit of control over what happens in the Middle East in the coming years.

It'll be more than just 'a base': and that's when the REAL problems will start.......
