I don't think makeing my contry less powerfull is quite the route I'd take, we'd get picked off one by one, and don't wory about us being the only super power Europe is going to get fused into one before long, hopefully we'll still be getting along with them by then
. and the way things look California is probly going to split off.
what we realy need to do is get off the oil (fuel cells:cool: ) so we arn't at the mercy of these regiems we have had to suport for the last fifty years (saud),
we have caused a lot of screw ups, Iraq is one of them, he probly never would have gotten into power if it wasn't for us covertly(sort of) trying to help him keep Iran botteled up, let alone getting all the weapons he doesn't want to give back
this is one of the reasons why I feel we need to clean this mess up, becase it was our fault in the first place, the people of Iraq deserve a life, and I do think we can give them one (well most of them)
but Sadam does pose a threat to us personaly, he absolutly hates us, Iraq was the only contry to not denounce the 9/11 atacks (I think he had something to do with it, but I have no real proof, and this is mentioned only as evedence of how baddly he hates us), if he could don't you think he would love to kill millions of americans without any direct link back to him,
I think he can and will given enough time
and rebelion in Iraq is not as easy as you would think, as has been demonstrated, he does have the chemical weapons and he is particularly good at useing them at lightly armed rebels (especaly when we fail to suport them like we said we would),
not to mention that there is quite the degree of momentum killing, if you are suspected of thinking about maybe sugesting Sadam isn't the absolute most perfectest ruler in the history of rulerdom you disapear after waching vidios of every woman child and man you have ever known being raped and killed in the slowest posable manner.
in short I don't think that going in there getting Sadam out and seting up a democracy in Iraq is something we can aford not to do in the long run
also another point to think about why Bush want Iraq, think about it, what is one of the contries Iraq borders, Iran, what is one of the contries that borders Afganistan, Iran, what contry is the spiritual center of the militant Wahabis (OK Saudi Araibia, but Iran is too), there are massive anti government protests in Iran going on, I think in a few years we are going to try and help it,
also Iraq is the number 2 big thing the Islamic world hates about us, the (UN) economic sanctions, if we can get it done how do you think millions of relitivly wealthy Iraqis liveing in a reasonably stable democracy (many years down the road) would do for our image around the world,
and a third point Iraq is funding terrorism in Isrial, why is this our problem? becase we suport Isrial and that is PR problem #1, if we can get a peacfull resolution to the Israili Palistinian conflict those masses of millitant muslums will disapear, but that will _never_ happen while the palistinians are straping bombs to there chests, wich will never stop untill Iran and Iraq stop funding them.
