I believe it is also public Iraqi policy to support terrorism (as in them offering cash to the families of paLastinian suicide bombers)

So what do you do? Everyone knows war is bad. It's a no brainer. But would Iraq be better off in say 10 years with a quick war or with leaving Saddam in power?
We won in Iraq - the inspectors are in there - there is no way that Saddam will get away with anything while they are there (contrary to popular myth). W. should work to fry bigger fish instead of alienating the whole world.

What concerns me is that W isn't focusing on real problems. Korea and Iran come to mind. By attacking Iraq it just reinforces these two countries' perceptions that they better build the bomb before it too late.

If you really care about the palistinian issue then maybe you should push for a peace plan - that is the real seed of terrorism.

This war is politically and financially motivated plain and simple.

Besides who said I was against war? I think taking out the Taliban was a good thing.
