My opinion on this is slightly skewed, as I'm intentionally not as educated on this topic as I should be. I've been looking at this conflict as "ignore it, and it'll go away." Wishful thinking, yes, but as an extremely neurotic/paranoid person with a brother and several friends in the Mideast, it has kept me sane. I've been limiting my CNN time to about 10 minutes a day (normally I have it on the majority of the day as background) b/c thinking about this upsets me.
By human nature I am a pacifist. I believe that violence should be the very last resort to ANY conflict. I've heard the reasons as to why would should be doing what we're doing, and I agree that Hussein is a nutcase who is determental to his country and the world. He's not a man that's going to be reasoned with, and we all know this. However, I'm just thinking about all the innocent lives, Iraqui, Amercian, British, etc. that are going to be lost in this war. That's what really gets me. The powers that be claim they're going in there to get Hussein and then reset order in the country. Why do they think they can get him this time? They didn't in '91.
That being said (sorry about going off topic), I support our troops entirely. I say a prayer every night for a peaceful resolution. But I do NOT support a war of any kind, ever.
Love to you all. Stay strong.
