This is a long post sorry ....but it has many important facts.... Pisces, if u don't know......if I am concerned about woment's right in Nepal....then being in america doesn't make me less concerned! I know u don't care what women go through because u aren't a woman and these things affect me 'cause I am a woman silly! I know u will never understand either.....so I don't expect u to understand with that tory brain of yours!Do u know what's going back to 1940s means?? Then I will answer! Republican and Jagaltay bhoot, here is my response to your queries! BUSH II is the copycat of previous republican administrations.....how can u say that BUSH isn't responsible for Iraq. They know exactly what they are doing. Do u remember it's the same person the famous"Rumsfeld" who was active even in 80's and and even now in this administration!! See the connection.... BUSH is just a puppet, all this traditional countryboy can say is "good or evil" ,the real country runner and master planners are Dick Chenney, Rumsfeld, Libby, Paul Wolfowitz, Perle...and some more! the blueprint of what has happened since 9/11 was drawn years ago, by the Project (PNAC) a think tank.....who were the founders? Those guys I mentioned above. This is a blueprint for world domination. Actually there was a five year plan...beginning with Iraq, syria, Lebanon, Libya, Iran, Somalia, Sudan. Republic u said, "there is no proof BUSH lied".....everybody knows the famous words of BUSH when he told Ameica about the connection between 9/11 and SADDAM"! BIG LIE! Do u know some of the reasons why BIN LADEN is attacking US? Nobody knows and cares about it. Nor our leader has brought it to the open discussion nor the media (controled by government)has. U can't see any discussions from opposting views, So nobody knows why! Shoudln't that be the first question right after IRAQ? One of the reason BIN was angry was 'cause US wanted to control Saudi Arabia by installing its government and BIN wanted a muslim government to remain! Now why would they attack IRAQ? It's for three reasons....it's was a distraction from Afganistani war 'cause they couldn't find BIN LADEN, secondly for more than 10 years....US is eyeing to take over IRAQ for their oil and the most importantly the oil of other surrounding countries... U.S and UK are beginning to run out of secure hydrocarbon energy supplies. By 2010 the Mulsim world will control as much as 60% of the world's oil producation and 95% of remaining global oil export capacity. So demand for it is increasing so supply is decreasing. US wants to secure oil supplies.....and thirdly it's to show the world don't contend with us otherwise u will have the same result! Republican mentioned about how France and Germany taking advantage of UN-food-oil money....how about already proven illegally selling chemicals to other countries all the time? US has a much more fattttterr wallet baby! No left wingers think that saddam was a pope....u are wrong in this....he was a barbarian like so many other leaders who doesn't know that? But this war wasn't about catching the barbarians and killing innocent people ( americans didn't wanted catching barbarians as an iminent wish)but to catch BIN LADEN! Who is responsible for 9/11 bin or SADDAM? About the US supporting Afganistan during the Russian war was for US' benefit. T"his war was targeted to draw the Russians into the Afghan trap." first by secret operations that would force Russians to invade Afganistan. Russians were US's major enemy so they were using Al-qaidas to get back on Russia. The war affected Afganistan for 2 full decades full of terror and civil war.The same trained group brought forth the "India-pakistan coflict too. Did u know that there was a warning that if US attacks IRAQ there is "pretty high" chance that IRAQ would use the WMD (if they had one), even pentagon, FBI alarmed about it.Terrorists could get a hold of it. Did this government care? NOPE! They have their own other desire and goals to take over IRAQ! So much to that they take threats seriously......... Republican government favoured , supported, helped notoriously cruel barbarians like south african ally(killled 1.5 million...850,000 infants),Ferdinand Marcos,Indonesian Suharto, Ceausescu....etc even knowing that they are killing millions.....now they want to save the world! It's complete nonsense! they are more concerned about 1% of rich elite people of US than poor. Now remember, after US attacked IRAQ 90s, they assigned SADDAM again to the power...why?? knowing that he is a brutal killer! US is against terrorism and WMD ???? And u say US's friendly relation (past)with SADDAM deosn't count now then why is US is referring to the chemicals that Saddam used in the past?That was the reason they went to war(according to the present BUSH II) US didn't care when Saddam was terrorizing people then and they are against terrorism finally after supporting all the dictators in the world? USA is the only country in the world who has used Nuclear weapon(form of WMD) so far in Japan completely destroying two cities.They obviously wants to be a SUPERPOWER and rule world.Why only superpowers can do whatever and not other countries???
