Attack Iraq?

[<Im Yo Pusha>]

Being that all the swampies are from different parts of the world, what are your views on the developing crisis with Iraq? For those politically consciencous swampies, what do u think. Personally I think Sadaam is a threat and should be attacked. Is anyone not from a UN countrty? Ok this thread should just be like a global war views thread. What do u think?

[C'jais]

Saddam is an assumed threat yes, but so is the USA.

 

If USA starts the attack, they'll look like the ones who started WW3, not Irak.

 

Irak cannot assume world superiority by attacking anything, USA can.

[<Im Yo Pusha>]

I agree, but the USA shouldnt wait for a nuclear attack to begin combat, if the weapons inspection shows that they may be hiding advanced weapons, Id make the first move and take out Sadaam

[Darklighter]

That is exactly what I was going to say Jais. If we do not provoke Iraq, will a war necessarily start? By attacking them there is a very likely chance they will retaliate, then we will retaliate, and so on and so on...suddenly, we are the ones who have started the war (by 'we', I mean those who are not on Iraq's side). I say we do nothing. And if it comes down to it that we need to fight, so be it.

[<Im Yo Pusha>]

yeah, i agree w/ u guys

[-s/<itzo-]

WAR ooh agh, what is it good for absolutely nothing.

 

you ever heard that song...

 

 

 

but i totally agree with you guys. we need to stop this corruption going on the world.

Me and some friends have talked about something:

 

If USA joined hands with Europe, we could assume world domination, and dictate the human rights on other, less civilized countries.

 

Just an idea

I think that the USA, should get a nuclear weapon, find saddam, launch missle, bye bye war!

USA is far more dangerous than Irak in regards to weapon arsenals.

 

What war? There's no war happening right now between USA and Irak - OTOH, USA might suddenly find themselves in a globe spanning world war if they eradicate Saddam like that.

Oh yes, its so much easier to decide on things without thinking of the consequences:rolleyes:

[<Im Yo Pusha>]

Jais, I like ur idea, except the US would have no interest in being a global bully and attacking smaller countries. Some of those smaller countries are our allies. However, if NATO (US, Canada, Mexico for those who dont know) joined forces w/ Europe, we could be very sucessful in utilizing resources from weak counties (beating up on Kuwait for their oil) that sort of thing. But, both nations dont want that kind of iamge so I doubt it would happen,

 

interesting though...

 

on another note, has flanders changed his name to abarath?

[Mex]

Err, Yes this is my new name [i was flanders]

 

And hmm I shouldve thinked about what would happen if USA fired a missile.......

 

I'll think later

[Chewbacco]

I am an American and president Bush demanded any chemical weapons to be destroyed. We are trying to not go to war. But if it get too big of a threat we have no choice. Better risk thousands (army) than millions of lives.(civillians)

jais is right, there is no war. But in regards to how dangerous the US is, I think we have the weaponry to be dangerous, but Iraq's intentions are far more evil. Even though we have more weaponry, they could easily formulate a cheap shot plan to kill a good amount of citizens

Oh, I'm not saying that we should or that we have interest in doing this - I'm just pointing out that combined, all "western" civilizations together could dominate the world easily, as of right now.

 

I'm fearing that USA simply might be the greater threat to world peace than Irak, indirectly, of course.

I very much agree, the USA isnt trying to bully anyone, but if Iraq becomes enough of a threat we should act on em'

yeah, we would do that, but for some reason the french HATE us and we HATE them.....go figure.

 

anywho, they shouldnt start anything yet. if the tests turn up weapons, isolate these and destroy them without any loss of life. if saddam starts to attack us with weapons, we gotta take him out. there would be no other option if he kills people.

How could he attack if we destroyed his weapons?

[PhantomHelix]

no, im saying if he attacks with weapons before we find them......not after. besides, even if they look their best, he will still hide some. its inevitable.

[Taos]

This whole topic makes me very nervous. Like has been said....I'm afraid of WW3 starting if we go in and invade Iraq.

 

I know that's not what anybody wants (ww3).....but it sure looks like it's gonna come down to that. All I know is Gee Dubya better have some awfully good intellegence on Iraq to consider a decision like this. I mean they better have difinitive proof. But just going in there to clean up the mess that his Dad left.....isn't the reason to go.

 

For me, I want to have Osama finished off first before we do anything against Iraq. Unless, that info that the Bush Admin has is saying we need to move quickly. I just really want to get rid of Osama in the worst way.

[Elijah]

You all talk about how we may start WW3 and what not... Do you have any idea how many people die to the hand of Saddam EACH DAY? DO YOU!? A terrorist like him needs to and must be destroyed.

 

Its a lot like the Bin laden thing... people say we didn’t need to attack him blah blah blah, try keeping your cool after having thousands of your country men/women killed by some guy who doesn’t like you because you have religious freedom.

 

my answer is simple: Yes.

[Pad]

iraq a threat to go to war? NO

 

bush a threat to the world? YES

 

thats all i have to say in this debate as it makes me really angry

[Kstar__2]

i do think that saddam is bad, but i don't think they should attack iraq for it, it's a bit complicated. but they sould try to only kill saddam
