ok, first of all, the only reason the french arent backing us is because THEY are worried about their oil dealings with sadaam. the US wants iraq to keep control of their oil, we dont want to take it away. thats democratic/liberal bullshit copout anti-bush propaganda. we want sadaam out because he kills and tortures his own people, they are living their lives in fear. and we are still looking for osama, we havent forgotten (der) our guys are still over there. but how do people so quickly forget that sadaam has relationships with these terrorists, he's the head hauncho, by means of providing them with weapons, money, etc. anyone who thinks we can come to a "peaceful resolution" is an idiot. im sorry, but come back to reality. you cant reason with insane dictators, its just not an option. we have wasted many years trying to reason with him, we've given him many chances, he just dosent give a shit. war isnt fun, innocent will be harmed, thats sad, but if we let him stay in power, many more innocent will be killed than if we go to war. its not pretty, but its what needs to be done.
