You're wrong in both cases. It seems to be impossible for you to think of
other ways then bombs and invasion to remove Saddams clique from power
and give the Iraqi people the freedom to build a peaceful, democratic
society - if this really is the goal of Mr. Bushs clique (I doubt this).
What an entropic way of thinking. It's so much easier to scribble some
techno-babble, when reality becomes too complex, hm?
BTW, if _I_ remember correctly, you're not a friend of powerful
governments, pressing their will onto others, are you? So why are you now
following Mr. Bush so blindly into a preemptive war that will destabilize
international relations and therefore create more trouble? What is it
that cannot wait some more months, some more hundred inspectors, better
surveillance, UN human rights supervisors who ensure free press, access
to free information and free elections in some years, etc.? Why is a
massive attack, with thousands of deaths and an uncontrollable outcome,
the only plan? Why is a slower pace so impossible for Mr. Bush, a more
controllable pace with less deaths and less political and religious
outbursts?
And regarding the "clear and present danger": Please show me one argument
showing a real threat to the US, here and now, something that _only_ a
massive attack and invasion can prevent. Something based on real facts
that would at least stand an ordinary trial in some provincial court room.
