We Dont Need Anyone's Permission

How dare you make that analogy. I am all for doing what is in the best interest of the international community, and I hope for peace, but the United States has a responsibility to the rest of the world to keep the sheep safe, and that's is what President Bush believes he is doing. I would like to see another 3 weeks worth of inspections, but Iraq has NOT complied and nothing is going to change without the threat of force. The United States isn't hated because we are arrogant or selfish, we are hated because we are everything every country in this world is not, we are free, we are powerful and we are wealthy, and we give BILLIONS of dollars in aid to impoverished countries around the world and forgive debts of these same countries.

I pray every night that this war will not happen, that our soldiers won't lose thier lives, that innocent Iraqi's won't be slaughtered, but the threat of war is necessary.

You better get your facts straight before you make a despicable comparison like that and lest you not forget a large portion of the people here are Americans. This goes against my resolution of not responding to these types of threads, but I am absolutely disgusted by this. There is something to be said, for formulating your own opinions on this war, and that's certainly the type of freedoms we enjoy, but to feed off of the hatred of American when you clearly haven't taken the time to do any research on the subject is appauling.

/me Civ for a intelligent response to that post
