here are the predictions of one of the biggest DU morons.
http://www.silenceissedition.com/about.htm BUZZFLASH: Why should someone read War in Iraq?
PITT: Because the United States of America and the Bush administration in particular are preparing to go to war against a country preemptively, which is something we have never done, that will set a precedent that is incredibly deadly. We have been allowed to live in the fantasy that the entire 20 million civilian population nation of Iraq is in the guise of one man. We will kill tens of thousands of these people. We will lose hundreds or thousands of our own people.
We will destabilize and set aflame the entire Middle East. We will guarantee worse terrorism on our own shores, up to and including the possibility of terrorists getting a hold of Pakistani nuclear weapons, which somehow we're perfectly satisfied with Pakistan having. The downside of this is far greater than the farcical and unproven and incredibly-remote-as-to-be-nonexistent possibility that Saddam Hussein might drop some terrible weapon on us. That's not going to happen. The fact that Saddam Hussein, in the midst of this pitched charge towards war against him, was savvy enough to offer to allow the inspectors back in, means that he is many things, but suicidally stupid is not one of them. He would be signing his own death warrant.
BUZZFLASH: On the other hand, if we do go to war with him, he probably would have nothing to lose to use those weapons, if he has them.
PITT: Intuitively, I would offer this advice: If America goes to war in Iraq, I think everyone in Israel needs to pack a bag and leave.
