War: For or against it???
I am just curious as to how many of us pixies agree with going to war with Iraq, and who disagrees with this inevitable decision. As a military and combat veteran, I have first hand experience with the devastation of war. I have agreed with the need for, supported and have been involved in war and military conflict in the past, which includes Operation Just Cause (Panama), Operation Desert Shield/Storm (Persian Gulf), Kosovo and Bosnia. However, I do not agree with the current plans to go to war with Iraq. Perhaps part of my feelings with regards to this is the simple fact that I DO NOT trust any member of the Bush clan. Do not be fooled by Bush's propaganda ploys!
Among my many reasons for disagreeing with entertaining the thought of war with Iraq is that I remember what Bush said immediately post 9/11. That it is his goal to "rid the world of terrorists" and to bring all known terrorists "to justice." Given that, he has recently stated that the only way Hussein can avoid war with the U.S. is to leave Iraq and go into exile. That is not bringing a terrorist to justice. And he claims this war is part of his "war against terrorism."
One more thought, the U.S. is the ONLY country that has ever used a "true" weapon of mass-destruction against humanity.
