Anti-war argument [Admin Mod says: Target Practice!!!!]

1. Such a war can only lead to an increase in terrorism.

The terrorists are going to target us no matter what we do. We could pull back every single American from the Middle East and they would still hate us. It is like strategy, you hit the supply base first. Doesn't kill many troops, but it will stop them in the end.

2. There are no proven links between Saddam and the Al-Qaeda.

Last I checked it was a war on Terror, Saddam has known links to Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbolah(sp). And has openly said he will pay money for every suicide bomber that attacks Israel, sounds like he supports terrorism.

3. Before the UN sanctions Saddam had created a country with the one of the highest standards of living in the Middle East.

This may be true, but Hitler had also done wonders on the German economy and infrastructure, and we all know where that ended up.

(i.e. he did not gas his own people as Bush repeatedly claims).

1988, He killed roughly 5000 people in one of his own towns, Habja(sp), most of which were women and children.

Saddam had done his best to provide his people with food, and calling what the US and UK were doing 'genocide'.

Do you even read anything, or just go blindly with what the Liberals tell you? If he indeed wanted to provide for his "beloved" people than why doesn't he pawn off one of his several royal palaces. Or how about do what the UN asks and disarm, I am certain that the US and UK would gladly send food then. I'm sorry but you do not support your enemies.

4. The threat that Iraq poses to us is tiny.

Of course VX gas isn't a major problem in the hands of one of the radical groups I named above. Hitler wasn't much of a threat to America, and once again, we know where that ended.

5. The US has a deplorable record of foreign intervention over the past 50 years

Lol, liberal rule number 1. When you can't win, just blame America, cause they are evil capitalist pigs... Look, America isn't a saint, but compaired to the records of the other fine countries in the world, we do a lot damn more than we should. Who does the UN turn to when they need to feed people who live under warlords, you can bet it's not France. How many American troops have died trying to bring food and freedom to innocent people. Case in point Somalia.
