Some Questions to Think About...02/05/03

I wrote these questions in September, 2002, but never put them on my website. They are relevant questions and I believe they are still worth considering:

1. How many body bags does the military expect to send home to America?

2. What is the cost of the war in billions of dollars? (one advisor to the president estimates the war would cost up to $200 billion.)

3. Are there estimates for how long American troops would have to stay there?

4. What are the costs in civilian lives and social and environmental destruction (i.e. is Saddam going to burn oil fields again)?

5. How much of this war is about oil?

6. How much of this war is a vendetta against "the man who tried to kill my dad"?

7. Why now? For 11 years (without attacking the United States) Saddam Hussein has been defying U.N. resolutions, as many countries have. According to Scott Ritter, former U.N. Arms Inspector, no new evidence of imminent danger has presented itself.

8. If we preemptively attack Iraq, will Iraq strike Israel who will then retaliate, leading to the Arab world responding, which will set off the powder keg in the entire middle east?

9. Is there really an alliance between Iraq and Al Qaeda, since one society is secular and one is fundamentalist? (I've read that Bin Laden has issued a Fatwa calling Hussein an apostate who needs to be destroyed.)

10. What is the responsibility of a powerful nation to follow the rule of international law? ... As an example for the rest of the world.

11. What will be the potential blowback, or increased terrorist threat to the United States, as a result of going to war in Iraq?
