I just took a look at their website and the alternatives to war. Here's one: Controlling or shutting down the Syria-Iraq pipeline would help stop the illegal shipment of oil outside the system of UN financial controls. This is a gaping hole in the sanctions net and a major source of unrestricted revenue for the Baghdad government.

Easy enough, right?

haha - And how do they propose on doing something like this - since I'm sure the Syrians would have something to say about it? Asking nicely? Sending in the U.N.? Gee, they may have to consider an ARMED CONFLICT (war?).

You mean, they want to impose sanctions?? And cut off funding for the Iraqui government??

WHAT ABOUT ALL THE STARVING CHILDREN???

Oh, sorry, for a minute I forgot that children only starve from sanctions emposed by a Republican government. Democrat sanctions don't work that way.

But, but, but what about the starving Iraqi children harmed by our eeeeeevil boycott?

There's no bottom line with these people. Like Mr. Majestic's (Charles Bronson) comment to the mobster just before he kicked the guy's a**, to all of these traitors: "Well, I guess there's just no getting on your good side".

I would say a couple dozen carefully dropped 500lb bombs would take that pipeline right out. That can start the peace process.
