The point is being missed in this discussion. All authority is invasion. All governments are guilty of aggression. Is it the greater evil to kill 600,000 in one instant or force millions to live on their knees for centuries?
I am stunned by the fact that men who have little or no knowledge of psychology, ontology, philosophy or sociology are armed and sent into the world to police me...

LOL!!! If someone had a gun to your head and said they might use it if you continue to act like a moron what would you do? Act like a moron and get killed or would you shut the # up?
Hilarious!

The 3 BIG LIES About Iraq
by John Pilger
www.rense.com...
1 � Lie Number One is the justification for an attack on Iraq � the threat of its �weapons of mass destruction�.
Few countries have had 93 per cent of their major weapons capability destroyed. This was reported by Rolf Ekeus, the chairman of the United Nations body authorised to inspect and destroy Iraq�s arsenal following the Gulf War in 1991. UN inspectors certified that 817 out of the 819 Iraqi long-range missiles were destroyed. In 1999, a special panel of the Security Council recorded that Iraq�s main biological weapons facilities (supplied originally by the US and Britain) �have been destroyed and rendered harmless.�
As for Saddam Hussein�s �nuclear threat,� the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that Iraq�s nuclear weapons programme had been eliminated �efficiently and effectively�. The IAEA inspectors still travel to Iraq and in January [2002] reported full Iraqi compliance.
Blair and Bush never mention this when they demand that �the weapons inspectors are allowed back�. Nor do they remind us that the UN inspectors were never expelled by the Iraqis, but withdrawn only after it was revealed they had been infiltrated by US intelligence.
2 � Lie Number Two is the connection between Iraq and the perpetrators of September 11.
There was the rumour that Mohammed Atta, one of the September 11 hijackers, had met an Iraqi intelligence official in the Czech Republic last year. The Czech police say he was not even in the country last year. On February 5, [2002] a New York Times investigation concluded:
�The Central Intelligence Agency has no evidence that Iraq has engaged in terrorist operations against the United States in nearly a decade, and the agency is convinced that Saddam Hussein has not provided chemical or biological weapons to al-Qaeda or related terrorist groups.�
3 � Lie Number Three is that Saddam Hussein, not the US and Britain, �is blocking humanitarian supplies from reaching the people of Iraq.� (British Foreign Office minister Peter Hain).
The opposite is true. The United States, with British compliance, is currently blocking a record $5billion worth of humanitarian supplies from the people of Iraq. These are shipments already approved by the UN Office of Iraq, which is authorised by the Security Council. They include life-saving drugs, painkillers, vaccines, cancer diagnostic equipment.

What a lot of you fail to realize is why the United States has done these things. Sure, anyone can take a fact and turn it around to meet their needs. Example, the only country to use nuclear weapons in a war, the United States. Well, a quick check of history will show WHY it was needed, and why it was not a bad decision. Countless more would have died, on both sides, unless the A-bomb was dropped. The Japanese were planning to have their kids use sticks to fight, come on sticks. So the decision to use the A-bomb was in fact a good tactical maneuver. It ended the war quickly and though killed many people, saved many more lives. Most fail to realize their are REASONS why these things are done.

Now that may apply when they droped the first bomb. After they droped the first one the jappenses were ready to surrender. But We didn't care. We wanted revenge!!!! We droped the second bomb out of revenge. Can't you see that?!?!?

If we wanted revenge so bad then we could have easily left the Japanese after we won, turned our back and left their country for ruin. Do you think they would have honestly been able to recover, especially in this century? Alas, the evil America didn't do this though. Instead they took their enemy who they had just defeated, and helped restructure their entire country. They rebuilt an entire economy, which is one of the top ones not just in the Asian market, but in the world market as well. This was a country that had attacked America, yet we helped them so much afterward. We weren't obligated to do anything. Now they are one of our only true allies left. Now honestly, do you think Japan would be as successful as it is today if it wasn't for what America has done.
