For the record, I'm not for appeasement....I think something should be done.
But I don't think Bush is telling the whole truth, and he's too much of a cowboy and he's pissing a lot of our friends off. And as I stated above, saying this war will be about him defying the will of the UN is bullshit, because the US and Israel thumb their noses at the UN on a daily basis. At least tell the truth about why you're doing what you're doing.
I think he could get the results he wants if he does things differently, and we can keep all of our friends in the process.
And I hate that everytime someone asks a tough question about what the president is doing that they're called a pacifist or an appeaser. This is America, we have not only the right, but the responsibility to question our leaders.
There are lots of questions the president refuses to answer. Toppling Saddam is the least of our worries. What about after? What if the Kurds decide to take territories for themselves like the Georgians and Chechens did after the Soviet Union collapsed? Are we going to send American troops to fight them and reclaim the land for the newly installed democratic government?
What if Iran makes a move? Are we going to use US troops to fight the Iranian army and keep them off of Iraqi soil? (Letting Iran control the entire region is not an option for us, trust me)
