This is one of the GAINS of the WAR, I for one agree to go to war, The bad part of the war for US citizens is that their taxes will go skyrocketing when they are supplying food and rebuilding Iraq etc.

ill tell you my reasons for war but id bore you to death http://www.gamershell.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

The whole "War for oil" argument is ridiculous. US oil refineries are not geared to handle Mideastern crude anymore, we have shifted our dependence to South America.

If we were going into Iraq to gain it's oil, wouldn't it be easier and cheaper to simply lift the sanctions and buy Hussein's oil on the cheap? And what about our actions in Kuwait in the aftermath of the first Gulf War?

We went in and liberated Kuwait, cleaned up it's oil fields, and left! Didn't "steal" a drop of oil, we don't even buy any of their oil.

Kinda destroys the whole War for Oil argument in three paragraphs, eh?

Granted Iraq has 10% of the worlds oil reserve and I'm sure that is in the bush administrations mind in this 'war' but I doubt thats the only reason. The past 20 years (gulf war) has been a rough time between Iraq and US.
2 ironic points
1st, we helped saddam get into office in Iraq.
2nd, we sold Iraq weapons that can easily modified.

I personally think that we are aimed at the wrong country.. Iraq's shrinking milltary, government power, and disarment is not dangerous to us.. (US) I think we should be more worried with Korea and its growing nuclear capabilities and influence in the pacific - Pakistan and selling bomb/nuclear secrets to terriorist (along with N korea). ect... Russia has 150 tons of poorly guarded plutonium/uranium and so on.

Most of Russia's nuclear material is not weapons grade, and consequently relatively harmless(as harmless as nuclear stuff gets anyway). The weapons grade stuff is under lock, key, and heavy guard. Even if someone DID manage to get their hands on either type, they'd still have trouble transporting it anywhere. It's not something you simply stick in a suitcase, regardless of how Hollywood portrays it.

Neither Pakistan or N.Korea are going to sell terrorists any nuclear material or "secrets". Neither country has any love for terrorists, and there is no price high enough to risk the wrath of the world discovering such a trade. Any country engaged in such a trade would be embargoed, sanctioned, and very likely blockaded in every way possible by everyone.

As for the two ironic points, this is hardly news. The US has developed quite a history of boosting one faction, only to have it turn on it's "master" later on. They should remove the I from CIA, because they show little concern for the long term effects of their meddling, and that's where some of the worst problems crop up.

I&#39;ve read reliable sources that they have. And N Korea has sold missle secrets and bought bomb secrets by one of the chief bombers in Pakistan that has vistied north korea around 12 times in this year.
Nuclear is nuclear.. If it isn&#39;t harmful then it can be made to be. Not saying that we should look into russian affairs but Pakistan and N Korea are more deadly in my opinion

Bucky
03-11-2003, 05:20 PM
It is easy at this point to say N. Korea or Pakistan is more of a threat, but we are very simply going to have to deal with Sadam at some point, either now or in the future.

I&#39;m willing to trust that we uncovered some pretty hard major indications of ties between Iraq and Al Qaedah. That being the case, it makes sense for us to pursue that avenue.

It may be the case that stomping 2 countries with terrorist ties will finally convince all of the other petty little tyrants who seek to gain international influence through the use of terrorists that it is counter-productive to their long term health.

Either way, terrorism ties or not, 9/11 or not, the world is going to have to deal with Sadam Hussein someday. He has shown over and over that he is willing to use any means available to gain his way.

He is the only leader in power in the world today that has ordered the use of WMD, and he continues to seek their production. I cannot imagine a more terrifying scenario than him having nukes, and that includes N Korea, because N Korea, for all of their chest thumping, has shown some sense in their dealing with the rest of the world.

Sadam Hussein is like a rabid dog, he has to be put down before he hurts more people.

No, they won&#39;t drill for the oil themselves. Why, if they can start selling equipment to Iraqis to replace the outdated / broken equipment they&#39;ve got because of the sanctions. And get the new puppet government to sell oil to coalition at low prices. http://www.gamershell.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

05-19-2003, 09:17 PM
When a country has nuclear weapons it qualifies as being a serious threat, because if a country attacks it then it can attack back with so much force that it&#39;s felt for a long time. The term used for this during WWII was M.A.D. (Mutual Assured Destruction), and that&#39;s pretty much how things are today.

For example, Russia is a BIG threat. Do you know how much nuclear weaponary Russia has? Thousands of nuclear stations and rockets. It can destroy any single country, even USA. Yes, USA are also have nukes as well as N. Korea and China, but in nuclear war survives the one who pushes the red button first.

05-20-2003, 01:09 AM
I argree with ya Syandine.Personally I thought on 9/11 anyone who ever thinks about doing that to the USA we should eliminate, no questions asked nuclear deploymenat accpetable,i have toned down sense then after the past years,But we werent the people who satrted this thing that includes afgan,even iraq.if sadam would have cooperated in the beginnig we wuldnt have attacked.Now i know what some of you are thinking he did cooperate. WRONG&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; all he did was run the inspectors around in circles,and he got what was coming to him.Now for a closing argument if everyone would not mess with the USA we wouldnt mess with anyone else we "didnt go look for wars" but terriost made us change are ways.So if you wanna get made at anyone,call anyone names(like most of those damn war protesters) you should be aiming it towards osama,sadam,and anyone else who wants to start something.We just want to be left the f**k alone.

O and if there are any americans out there who dont approve of are presidents action, i know there are sites out there that will pay for your plane ticket,to get the hell out of usa,because truthfuly we dont want you here.

now that the Saddam regime has fallen (a month ago) and a lot of his top aides are in American custody and are cooperating - would anyone explain me WHY no WMD&#39;s (whose alleged existance was the *supposed* motive for this war) were found yet? I&#39;m really trying to find an explanation for that. ;)

That I&#39;m not talking about at all... It was ovsious from the beginning, but accusing Iraq of ties with Al Qaeda was a HUGE part of Bush&#39;s little propaganda campaign, and obsiously worked well enough to make people believe in it.

They are straighteing Iraq out 1st, trying their best to stabalize it yet, this might take 5 years or so to do, then they will properly search for the WMD&#39;s, besides they caught enough people on their most wanted list to justify the war in which there were very little human casualties, infact more poeple died in september 11th..

1 - well, then i guess it&#39;s just a matter of time when the fine lines between being pro-american and not pro-bush will be crossed. for example i don&#39;t know how exactly war in iraq helped american economy which seems to be going down again (2 months ago one canadian dollar used to cost &#036;0.60 USD, now it&#39;s up to &#036;0.73 USD. and no, canadian economy didn&#39;t become stronger in the last 2 months, at least comparing to euro).
2 - trust me, if they&#39;d find WMDs, the whole word would know it, since it was the ONLY allied justification to this attack before the UN. I believe the problem is that they&#39;ll never find WMDs, unless they&#39;ll plant them themselves.

Targitai
05-26-2003, 09:17 PM
You right, war in Iraq didn&#39;t help american economy, but we are not talking about that now. By the way, american economy had to be decreased because of the war and it happens with every country which starts a major war such as this one.
About WMD&#39;s, maybe you right, but anyway I think they will keep it secret for a while.

NK will be a different case, completely different from Iraq, Iran or anything else. North Korea has nukes, and middle-range missiles able to send the nukes into Western part of USA. I don&#39;t think anyone (not even the crazy NK president or Bush) would risk a nuclear war.

NK is just trying to use threats to gain favorable trade status. Bush blew them off, and China has stomped them to make them settle down. It&#39;s gonna blow over unless NK decides to use terrorism to gain their upper hand.

NK communist gov&#39;t will implode w/in 10 years (my prediction). Bush is following the Reagan formula that worked so well with the USSR.

Reagan buried the USSR in defense spending. He ran up our defense spending to the point where the Soviets bankrupted themselves trying to stay on par. The result was the disentegration of the USSR.

It is a perilous ploy, because if the target get pushed too far into a corner, war can be the result, as history teaches us.

But when you are faced with an avowed enemy who has sworn your destruction, you are already at war, so you might as well take the bull by the horns.

Bush has NK on the ropes, and is going for the knockout economically. The Chinese are sitting on NK to keep them from getting out of hand, so I think we are on strong ground here :)

Well, I think that whole world near nuclear war now and not only NK. After war in Iraq there are so many countries which against american policy( I think you saw these war protesters in the begining of a war), so another war can begin almost in any day. The problem is that all major countries( like France, Germany, China and Russia) are thinking US started war because of an oil or something else, but not because of terrorism. No one believes that the purpose of war was to eliminate any connection between Iraq and terror organizations. But it&#39;s not the only purpose, there were secret purposes(I will not explain it here). Like in the begining of WWII there was Ribbentrop-Molotov contract and there was secret paragraph - it&#39;s the same thing here.

yeah, a lot of countries (like russia and france) call usa the "agressor", so there&#39;ll be no support from international community for any further wars.

I don&#39;t think anyone would decide to attack NK together with USA if a war starts.
