So how does everyone feel about the prospect of attacking Iraq and is it the right thing to do?
Personally, I don't see that a country twice as big as Idaho with maybe 12 Scud missiles, some chemical and bio agents, poses much of a threat. After all, we contained the USSR for 40 years and they had a vast nuclear arsenal aimed at us. Yeah, Saddam is not a nice guy, but we support dictators elsewhere too. So, does it not seem like this is about something else? Perhaps, we are after the oil? Hmmmm? Now, US oil companies could stand to make billions upon billions of $$ if they were in Iraq. In my opinion, that is the real reason for this action, has nothing really to do with a threat to our national security. Well, so I told you what I think, how about you?
