MR. JLS.

Back in 1942 Australians were at war. Sept 1939 ! Please do not compare the American gov'ts current polices with Iraq with WW2. They are not the same.

~EDIT:
"Back in 1942 Australians were at war. Sept 1939 !"
... And??? (This makes little sence) Please re-read my Post

Our Friend in Australia is questioning these policies that the current American Gov't is persuing.

Do you agree 100 % with these policies.

~No

Say 10% of the Population of Iraq is 'Evil-doers' and the rest is not.

~True

Say America attacks and 200,000 are murdered, is that worth it.

~murdered, interesting choice of a word.
Actually I think its Iraqi leaders decision whether he wants war, Full Compliance with UN, or Abdication.

Do you think that the lofty goals that the American Gov't has stated for Iraq will be met or do you think it will be just like Vietnam.

~No, Absolutely not: I do not think it will be like Vietnam.
How is that you can compare the American gov'ts current polices with Iraq with Vietnam war?

On the subject of Oil sales... Control of those fields controls Europe and Central Asia. That is important.

~OK, are you saying America is in Control of those fields?

1990 was the right thing to do. They should have finished the job then. M. Thatcher stated it was the worst mistake of her political career not ending that war and letting the Iraq army slaughter all opposition to the Iraq Gov't

~I disagree with M. Thatcher, it was a good decision then.
Unfortunately Iraq, would not comply with UN doctrines.

You keep tossing 9-11 in there. None of the terrorists were from Iraq. None of the A-Q they have captured or are after are from Iraq. There is no proof that Iraq was involved with those actions. Why isn't your country questioning the relationship between the current crop of people in charge and the A-Q.

~Iraq has ties to A-Q and other extreme Terrorist Groups.

A quote from you

EDIT: "9-11 has brought this to home, and yes I want my country to do something about it, quick, decisive and as merciful as possible. I do agree with appeasement as anyone would with a child…"

Continued

Some national leaders make threats at me and my family; threats that have substance, threats that would destroy my family as with the families in 9-11, I prey my Country protects us from these threats; as I would, with a Brigand in my home with a knife to my Daughters throat.

Is not your Govn't and Britains Govn't doing the same thing?

~No.

I believe it is to be American to question.

~Very true !!!! As well as my beleave And the believe of all free societies.

My intent here is not to slander you. Your opinions are valid, as is Askan's

Yes, I agree
And none considered, thank you
