yeah, and why are USA so sure that there are those weapons in there? maybe it's because they sold them them some 5 years ago.

Well... I voted libertarian.
![]() And, really.... none of us have had the presidential briefings that The President has. He has way more information than he can express to the public. I've had several different gut feeling about this. Something tells me that Bush Jr. wants to finish what his poppa would have liked to do. 9-11 just put the coals under our asses (the American public) enough to allow our president to have a little free reign in the area. I, for one, feel that the President is sincerely trying to make our country safer. And the whole world for that matter. If Iraq is helping those who would try to bring our downfall, then we'll deal with that. (And are) And as far as the WMD and who is allowed to have them... I'm up in the air on that one myself. It seems that if we are not going to allow other to have them.. then we should not as well. I'm also surprised to hear that Japan has any WMD. They know first hand what they are capable of. BTW, I am ashamed that we used the a-bomb on Japan; something that we would now clearly declare an act of terror. I don't know... I'm glad I'm no politician. I can see the "all's fair in love and war" slogan being a good cover.... but when trying to think fairly... why DO we have WMD if they're so fuckin' terrible that other countries can't have them? Hmmmmm are we trying to take over the world? And by "we" I mean all the democratic, republic, capitalist countries that are going along with us and are allowed to have WMD. Die commie bastards! Hey wait... they aren't communist.... it's a dictatorship. So as long as you don't hold elections you can't have WMD? Is that how it goes? Then... Pakistan.. time to give up your nukes! Hell I don't know... **puff puff**

I don't know about the part of making the world more safer place, to me it seems that Bush is the #1 enemy of world peace. OK I understand that there will never be an possibility of fire arm free world but at least it would help that they didn't have so much of them. I don't see any logig in owning enough nuclear missiles to blow the whole planet some 15 times. There's no one attacking USA, at least no country or nation, was it afghanistans fault that Osama-was there? OK Saddam is an irritating bastard but there's no proof of iraq "secret" "mobile" weapon labs, or their connections to Al-queida. Only proof of incoming war is the 100 000 Americans waiting to get to blast the shit out off Iraq. I'm not too big on boycoting anycountry but when one of the biggest countries in the worlds start dismissing the rules we've all promised to follow and saying to other countries "YOU give us your weapons".

I hear ya ubik. I don’t necessarily think he is making the world a safer place, but I think that’s what he believes.
The main reason I voted libertarian was to send a message to the democrats and republicans that we're getting tired of their shit. Libertarians are for liberty......... to even do drugs if one wishes as long as they are not hurting anybody else. They just seem to have a lot of sensible philosophies. Libertarians are also of the philosophy that it is the job f the federal government to protect within our boarders only. IIRC, they have a VERY simple foreign policy: Leave them the hell alone. I think I would worry if we actually had a libertarian president because it would mean a lot of huge changes fast. No foreign aide. No more bullying around the other leaders of the world (which might just take their crosshairs off of us right there). I just don't know if that would leave us better off or not. We're so used to being the world's police and spying on everybody I just don't think the gov't can function without such things. (Not that spying would be necessarily against libertarian philosophy) I can understand why lots of other countries feel like we just need to mind our own business some times. But things have been this way for so long..... and a lot of countries would not be the way they are today (for better or worse) if it were not for us not minding our own business. Hell... some countries wouldn't even BE. Man am I glad I'm not a politician. But I do love my country.
