BAGHDAD: Arab League Secretary-General Amr Mussa said in Baghdad yesterday that all Arab countries would oppose an eventual US military strike on Iraq.

“There is an Arab consensus on opposing any strike against any Arab country,” Mussa told reporters after arriving here on the first official visit to Iraq by a head of the pan-Arab body since 1990.

“The Arab League, the Arab Ministerial Council and the Arab summit, all were very clear in (upholding) the security, safety and territorial integrity of all Arab countries, including Iraq,” he said at the airport when asked about the possibility of a US military offensive against Iraq.

Mussa said he would discuss various aspects of the situation in Iraq with officials here, including President Saddam Hussein, during his 24-hour visit.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Naji Sabri was on hand at the airport to greet Mussa, who arrived to sanctions-hit Iraq on a special flight authorised by the UN.

“Iraq opens its arms to its Arab brethren, chief among them the man who leads the mechanism of joint Arab action,” Sabri said in a reference to the Arab League chief.

Mussa’s visit comes ahead of an Arab summit due March in Beirut. “I am visiting Iraq at a critical time for the Arab world and the Middle East region,” Mussa said.

“The talks I will hold here are important in the context of reviving Arab solidarity,” he added.

All Arabs oppose strike on Iraq...................and I care what they oppose because?????????????????????

[knighthawk]

Enough laws to stop some people from harming others, or to do crime.

[Buckeroo]

How many laws are required? As an example, the recent passage of the Patriot Act gives unlimited power to government about the destruction of our Constitution. Are you saying that more laws are required to prevent terrorism?

[ohioman]

Buckeroo is waste of time. He/SHe/IT gives a new meaning to the word "WUSS."

[sinkspur]

As an example, the recent passage of the Patriot Act gives unlimited power to government about the destruction of our Constitution.

I used to wonder why you ask questions like a two-year-old.

Then you make statements like the one above, and your questions suddenly take on a genius quality.

Buck, you're a rolling cliche. That "destruction of our Constitution" is getting a little old; maybe you could think of something new.

[knighthawk]

No, I am not saying that there need to be more laws to combat terrorism. But we need to act within the frame of laws that already are present! To many people did not care for the things they islamaniacs where doing in the US. There are too many illegal immigrants from Arab countries that could pose a threat to the US from within. Not all of them are terrorists, but why are they hiding from the government? And we need to question the fundraising that the islamaniacs do in the US.

[gunshy]

The US should announce to the arab world that we will pull our troops from Saudi Arabia and that we will not engage Iraq unless we are attacked by Iraqi troops or terrorists. That should have a dramatic impact on Sadam and the rest of the arab peace lovers.

[Buckeroo]

What makes you think that our government wasn't provided the capabilities before 911? Do you think that the mere passage of a law will diminuish criminal intent? If you do, which law will remove criminal activities altogether?

[Buckeroo]

You are permitting the complete erasure of the Bill of Rights and you don't recognise it. By the time you do see the processs completing, for your own good (of course) it will be too late; with the exception of another revolution.

[wattsmag2]

You're here to learn? Then quit calling everyone governmental bootlickers when you don't like the data they present to you. Acknowledge it or refute it.

[Buckeroo]

What's the matter? Does the truth hurt?

[knighthawk]

What makes you think that our government wasn't provided the capabilities before 911?

There is a difference between the capabilities and the willingness take action. Before 9/11 people were looking away from what was killing them. Now we saw just what the islamaniacs are doing to everyone.

And as a Dutchman living in the Netherlands I cannot stop the US from changing it's laws.

And by the way, just how many laws there are passed that take away your freedom? Does one of these laws changed your daily life?

[Buckeroo]

"There is a difference between the capabilities and the willingness take action." -- knighthawk

What is your best guess as to why America requires more government to create a willingness about the defeat of terrorism?

[knighthawk]

Maybe because the people in the US do not approve the killing of it's own? Is defeating terrorism a bad thing? All people that came under the name 'kafir' are a potentional target for islamic terrorists. If we do not act they will strike again.

[Buckeroo]

How will America defeat terrorism? By passing more laws? When will we be able to claim victory about terrorism's defeat?

[eFudd]

This is just propaganda. When they want to promote Islam they say that less than 1% are in militant factions.

Now they are saying All Arabs oppose strike on Iraq

I will bet there is at least one Arab out there that would like to see Sadam get Sadamized.

[wattsmag2]

What truth might that be? I have seen no "truths" in any of your posts. You might ask yourself that question.

[Buckeroo]

You believe in government. I do not. You call yourself a "conservative." I do not. You "feel" that making more laws will protect us. I do not. Want me to go on?

[wattsmag2]

Where have I ever said I want the government to make more laws? I have always "felt" that more laws are usually redundant or stupid. Please show me where I erred.

You know Bucky? I am just going to have to admit I was wrong the other night. I really thought you were merely ignorant, not stupid. But, seeing as how you can not follow the most rudimentary discussion, let alone participate in it, I must now admit you are an idiot. Too bad, you'll never be able to gain that knowledge you supposedly seek to learn.

So, in the future, I wil not reply to your inane requests. I will merely knock the pinnings out from under your statements. That will be easy enough and won't waste my time.

[Buckeroo]

There it is. You stated your beliefs. I am stupid. The government is stupid. Now that we have this little tirade out of the way, maybe you could fill me in on your opinion about our government over-reaching into sovereign nations? Maybe you could fill me in why the Arab nations resent American presence? Do you feel we have a right to be there?
