I think most of these guys are divided into two camps: (1) people who hate Bush/hate that there party is out of power (Streisand), and (2) people like Sheryl Crow who think that they way to avoid a war is to just to make friends and "be cool".

The problem with both sets is that neither offer any real solution, they just make catty remarks about Bush being motivated by greed, power, etc., but they never really address the fact that Hussein is a murderer of his own people, a regional threat to Arab states, and threat to Israel, and provides logistics to terrorists groups. (The part that really gets me is that if this were Germany persecuting Jews, even though Germany had done nothing to the US, these same folks would see with crystal clarity why the US should intervene. Somehow, the Iraqis and Kurds don't get that same attention from the left).

At some point, you have to be an adult, recognize the problem, and admit to yourself that there has to be something done about it, even though it may be costly. They don't do that, instead their attitude is like Sarandon's ("What did Iraq do to us?) Well, its not always just about us, its also about your allies , Kuwait, Bahrain, Saudi, Israel, its about the Iraqi people who have been murdered, tortured, and oppressed. More importantly, a fact that was lost on me, and I am sure the left, is that O'Reilly stated that once we are in Iraq, we will have a presence in that part of the world, for intelligence, to further track down Al Quaida, and to stabilize the region, and once that has progressed , provide a better opportunity for an Israeli Palestinian co-existence.

Another Has-Been Star that I must avoid. O my!

Along the same line, however, I guess I must also avoid the Pope!

Whenever there is an execution of a convicted murderer in the USA, we see no end of Human Rights Activists and the Pope crying for us to stop.

Now, when Collin Powell has shown that Sadaam has tested Biological Warfare on 1,200 Iraqi Prisoners, there is barely a Peep!

Where are Dustin and Babs and Susan on these inhuman murders by Sadaam????

And, to top it off, we hear that Tariq Aziz is actually heading to Rome for an Audience with the Pope! Perhaps Dustin and Susan and Babs will be there too?

Enough already! It is now time for the UN to Vote: (a) or (b)

................................(a) Attack Iraq Now:____________
................................(b) UN Irrelevance Forever:_________________

O well, expanding the Boycott leaves more time for fun on Sunday Mornings!

There's a pretty good chance they were involved in 9/11, and the 1993 bombing of the WTC and probably other things. Anyway, what had Nazi Germany done to us when we went to war against them?
