i don't get the justification here. war is breaking out in a part of the world where we already are, will need to be to protect our interests and don't have to spend a single dime to get troops there. pull them out? doesn't have a sane ring to it.

if you can't see the reasoning for being there, then there is no hope for you. it might've made more sense to you if one of your relatives died on September 11, 2001. there were 3000, remember?

A) yes.
B) true, but there are other reasons of which have been enumerated several times - and i ain't gonna do it again. imagine if hussein had gotten and maintained control over kuwait... the price you're paying for gasoline now would not hold a candle to the stranglehold he would've placed on the market. all in the name of the almighty dollar. (with him it might've been a power thing, which is why he couldn't accept defeat and invaded them on more than one occasion).

please tell me you are not so naive to believe that they aren't masters of the shell game after playing with the U.N. for so many years. hell, he knew that after a fashion, he was going to lose. there's nothing to support the next statement i am about to make, but i don't believe it's outside the realm of the possible, either: maybe he sold them. now, that's a scary thought.

just because this is true doesn't mean we should abandon the war. 'course, it would be nice for them if we did, because then they would run roughshod over the entire region doing as they please.

now, i know you're too far gone. have fun in la-la land.
i want to spend more time on this subject, but most of you know how i feel anyway. it's still fun poking holes in others' arguments. wading through the myriad spelling and grammatical errors is a bit fun, too.
disclaimer: i am not attacking you, personally. before you get out your big internet gun and blow me and my family away, take a step back from the computer and relax. it's only a discussion.
that said, i hope we do not have to get further involved in the happenings in the middle east. but turning a blind eye to what's going on over there could end up being more lethal to us than getting involved.
