"The preemptive strike policy has no declared standards, no limits and no trigger except the personal displeasure or the president. The president may decide to take on Iraq because he has a good military reason or because he wants to avenge his father¹s embarrassment. He will not tell Iraq in advance what that country must do to avoid attack and he will not tell the American people." - Craig Barnes full story >> ARTICLES Why a First Strike Will Surely Backfire - by William A. Galston, Washington Post "A global strategy based on the new Bush doctrine means the end of the system of international institutions, laws and norms thatthe United States has worked for more than half a century to build." ..."

I would just like to say that this war is just one part of George W. Bush's conspiracy to reak havoc on the world because he thinks he is King George. He wants the oil in Iraq, he thinks he deserves it becuase he is who he is(a self-indulgent, selfish, inconsiderate, murderous, and intolerable leader that is only in office because he was able to control the election to his advantage). The fact that there are people in this country who supports the increasing numbers of innocent deaths in Iraq is sickening and makes me feel unable to call myself and American. I propbably shouldn't even have capitalized the -a- in american. I'll probably never do it again. Dan VanDerZee do not have one 04/29/03 17:32:23 GMT

Attack by US could prompt Saddam Hussein by Australian Broadcasting Corporation, ABC News Online .."the CIA assessment also suggests, as many analysts have, that an attack on Iraq could be the trigger that prompts Saddam Hussein to use his chemical and biological weapons." Great, just great. It IS time we assessed *consequences* - all of them, not just the one s we want to look at. pema pema@global-dialog.org 10/10/02 06:03:46 GMT

Please check out these recent articles: Wake-up call " If the US and Iraq do go to war, there can only be one winner, can't there? Maybe not.
