Everything is always an option.

War is just another inevitable part of human experience; nothing all that special about it. :p

I didn't vote, cos you didn't have this option:

I'm not a Merry Can, and I reckon that while ole Saddam is 99% likely to be developing weapons o' mass destruction, neither the US nor any one else, be they multi-national coalition or one man army like me self, has the right to go and blow the sucka up without unquestionable, non CIA-produced proof. I'm all for removing that psycho-mentalist ego-trip nutcase from power (Saddam, not Bush), but we cannae just drop da bomb 'just in case'.

Good idea for a poll. Its a shame your own beliefs spoilt the wording of the options.

I'll take 7:

no I'm not american and I think america should be held to account for it's corperate imperialistic global domination plans and Iraq should be delt with through the UN under international law.

so you're not american and your againced the war
that would be option 4
thats all I care about learning from the poll you're nationality (as far as being an american) and you're position on this war currently
I just worded it to sound a little less bland
ok if some mod want's to change the wording go ahead

I hate war myself, tough it is an invetible effect of the human predetorial nature.

I can only pray (to a deus I dont belive in) that the humans are capable of changing their nature. If not; they will, in the end, eliminate themselfs and this planet.
Actually; it would take a miracle for them to survive the next 20 years...

Not that black and white, Im against America just going to war just because it can. However Saddam is clear a threat and if he doesnt do what the UN wants then force is justified.

I jumped the gun and took Option 2, even though I hardly think that Iraq is a "wonderous land".

RandomTiger summed up my thoughts pretty well. I don't think going to war with Iraq right now is a good idea, especially with Osama bin Ladin still at large. there are too many things that could go wrong with a war on Iraq that would jeopardize the war on terror.

The army that fights two battles at once loses twice.

Saddam is a petty power-hungry dictator and needs to be dealt with, but let's take care of Osama first. Saddam can wait.

For those of you who are against war, shame on you for your shortsited naive ignorance.  War may not be a fun thing, but someone's gotta do the dirty work every once in a while and the US would not be going to war just because 'it can', but because theres a nutcase in power who needs to be removed before he starts nuclear armageddon.

it is prety black and white if you think something must be done (that economic and political stuff isn't going to work, ie militarily action will be needed), then you are for the war, else you are aganced it
