I can say that I'm learning a lot from this thread, but I still have my own opinion.
I definitely feel that people would feel differently about this war if it were going to be fought on our soil. I know I would be scared s*itless!! I'm anti-war as it is...I really feel bad for the people of Iraq. They are who I'm thinking of right now. The women and children, in particular, who are suffering in poverty now and probably more so afterwards if their land is ravaged by war. I feel bad for the men who will die for whatever the cause may be (I really don't know what to believe anymore.) Imagine bombs going off right outside your front door, dead bodies on your street, and death and destruction all around you.
I also feel that this is more of a personal vendetta for Bush: "Saddam tried to hurt my daddy! WAAH!" Or even "Hey, my dad couldn't finish the job, so maybe I will." I loathe this man. He had BETTER not be re-elected....
I do take a more emotional side than a logical side in most "arguments".
But, at least if something does happen here over the next few days, I'll be with my mom....
