ONE HOUR. In one hour, Iraq may be bombarded with destruction from the thousands of American troops waiting to be deployed and start the war. Saddam has only one hour left to surrender and agree to being exiled. Then again, if he gave away some 7 million arms/guns/whatever to civilians so they can protect themselves, I guess that's clear enough indication that Iraq is not scared to go to war.

Gee... to realize that Bush's dreams isn't to follow in his Dad's footsteps, but to be a better fool than Nixon ever was. I wonder how much the Americans are re-thinking that other guy, was it Gore?

America didn't win the Vietnam War. I don't think they will win this one either.

It also just goes to show how conceited and arrogant Americans can be. Thier govenrment can be responsible for mass destruction elsewhere, but you can't bomb them. Oh no, not them. They're supposed to be invincible. They're supposed to be elite. They're supposed to be exempted. They're supposed to not feel threatened or scared. And in pursuit of these shoulds, they are willing to have thousands of men killed in battle, and thousands others to be made orphans.
And I know that not all Americans share the same vanity. Still, I can't help but beg the question, if they're really so civilized, why are they willing to sacrifice thousands of lives? Where is the humanity in that?

On the other hand, is there really hope that such an act of bravado would rid the world of terrorism?

ISHMAEL the gorilla (from the book of the same title) said that life has it's own way of balancing things out. For every person, there is enough resource. But a group of people can have much more than their share. It only means though that another group of people will have to live without. And if the world senses an imbalance between its resources and its users, it does what it does best. It takes away life. Usually, these happen by way of natural disasters. And then, there's hunger and poverty and corruption in Africa and Latin America. I'm just wondering if the impending war is another way life has employed to balance things out.
