Thanks ZetaAce
I realize these are heated topics because people take strong oppinions to them. I love the responce it's gotten so far and I think it's awesome that GC supports a thread of this caliber, disturbing it may take away from the prestige.
Rudey, Where do you get on off on pickin' on other people? Calm down bro. I might send you a PM about this an' other political topics sometime (because obviously you have good sources), but I'll wait 'till you chill out a bit.
No, Attacking Iraq isn't a panacea for all of our mid-east problems. And I agree with Rudy Wholeheartedly that it is beyond us to resolve; I mean, it's been an ongoing battle for a long time (trying to resolve it outranks the futility of seaking peace in Yugoslavia, or in Ireland) But the war is one of the current options we are facing in taking out the terrorist threat from abroad. Granted: the threat of terrorism from abroad is only a small percentage of the terrorism we face in the US, and the US has nowhere near the highest rate of terrorism (Sri Lanka is #1 I believe). Still, I feel it is our right as citizens to not live in fear of terrorism from abraod and to know that there is something being done about it.
goodnight
