Our news, papers, magazines, and pop culture is fawning over the "war protesters" on a daily basis. For every voice that is pro-war, there are ten that are anti-war, unlike the population, which is at least 60% pro-war. Don't give me the "media propaganda" BS because it is incorrect. Watch CNN if you want good examples of what I'm saying.

id say 90% of the people i know oppose the war.
The media is showing anti-war protests because they are happening. I have yet to hear of a pro war march/rally/lanparty.

If you are against war, would you rather that butcher stay in power over there and continue his campaign of murder?if you are anti-war, you are pro-Saddam, because without war, he is going to continue on his happy killing spree.

There are many many ruthless dictators, why saddam why now? Dont you think that if it was really just about saddam there would be alternate methods of removing him?

Don't give me the pro-war propaganda line unless you know all the issues involved. This man has had 12 YEARS to disarm, and he hasn't. Don't you think that it is about time something is done? How long can we give him till Next Month [tm] before we do something?

I dont believe you know all the issues. (no personal offense intended) If you know the true motivation of our countries leader than I withdraw the statement. And why is it our job to do somthing about a relatively benign situation. All it will serve to do is further cripple our countries economy lose the lives of many Americans and many more Iraqi people and make a few people a bunch of money.

Only the most dense would disagree with that.

I have a friend with a family that lives in Iraq and he fears for their lives if war starts...

Personally, I wish we would just recall our troops, put them on our borders, and let the rest of the world go to hell

I wish we could recall the troops and save my family over $1000.00 in my share of the war costs.

Greatness is relative, if you are talking about miltary might; sure.
if you are talking art, culture, technologie, humanity, education, media, wealth, society in general I think we fall a bit short.
