War isn't something to be taken lightly. There have to be some very strong reasons for engaging another country in conflict. Yes, there are stories of atrocities and I hope that they are true because they are being used to fule support for this war...
Don't believe everything you see and read Allen -it's very easy to manipulate a population into supporting bad decisions. Now I'm not comparing the States to Nazy Germany, but I'm sure there were people in Nazy Germany who felt a sense of patriatizm and nationalizm and thought their government could do no wrong.
Do you forget that the US practicly gave Sadam a "green light" for invading Kuwaitt back in the early 90s? We didn't take him out the first time, so what's the motivation for taking him out how? The US sat back and watched genoside in Bosnia for years before finally stepping in to do something about it, even though it was Europe's problem. Europe sat back and did nothing because they knew the US eventually would. Now the UN can sit back and do nothing cause the US will step in and do their dirty work for them. But why did it take so long for the US to act in Bosnia? Was it because there was nothing to gain from it finantialy?
Some top Saudi citizens (who have ties to or are in the Saudi government) donated money to front companies who supported terrorists. Money that may have been used to finance September 11th. And yet we are not attacking Saudi Arabia. Why? Things that make you go hmmm...
My point is: Don't get caught up in the hype. Things are not always as they seem. And there is going to be a lot of hype in the current conflict because the US is trying to drum up support for a very unpopular war...
