Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
 

All I have to say is blame these radical nations who support terror for the coming war. By funding these Groups they up'd the antie in the world. Did these nations think the US would not react after 9/11. The US would rather avoid war at all cost. We have to strike now. Bush will probably not not win re-election because of this. But I give him credit, he is has the backbone to what is right. This will send a message that escallating attacks against America will have consequences.

I wonder what would happen if ALCADA attacked multiple sites in Europe, Russia, or China. Do you think human life would be a priority on their list. Well, maybe Europe. But then America would have to foot the bill for the EU.

I'm not saying this should be the responce to every nation like Iraq. But then again every other nation hasn't had 12 years of sanctions and signed treaties against chem/bio weapons. With the current Iraqi government gone countries like Iran and North Korea will take notice. The US does not make empty promisses. Maybe they will think twice on supporting terror Groups.

Another thing, I think the US has had plenty of patients with Iraq. If we look at history wars began for lesser reasons. WWI kicked off after the assassination of Arch Duke Ferdinan. WWII began because of the failure of Euro appeasement to Germany. Falkland Island War started because of Argentina's 100 year old claim to the island and viewing the UK as a weaker power. Sometimes war is the only option. Iraq should have been taken care of 12 years ago.

You know what, in a year we will all look back at this thread and ask ourselves why.

Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
 

List of nations? Do you mean that have a high reguard for life? Sure. I think it's very well documented that the US is among those countries.

Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
 

We played that flash game months ago. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Regardless of Fryons opinion, that game did highlight some possible losing scenarios.

How many countries are stilled ruled by Royal Families? How many goverments have survived with dirt poor starving population and ultra rich ruling class? Does this sound like Saudi Arabia?
