Question

When I read comments from people who support the war against Iraq - I always have questions to ask that I think are a little too rude to stick in their diary notes, so instead of stewing on them - here they are:

How exactly is waging war against a country that is not a proven threat to the United States 'protecting' democracy?

When has any proof been shown that Iraq had anything to do with September 11th?

Why is it okay for us to have weapons of mass destruction (which we have shown that we are more than willing to use), and it's okay for North Korea (aren't they communist too??) but it's not okay for Iraq? Well there is that little UN regulation they are flouting - but did you know we are flouting several UN regulations too? And that most of our 'allies' are as well?

When has it ever been okay to kill hundreds of innocent men, women and children to help them get rid of someone that they aren't willing to get rid of themselves? Assasination had been a time honored solution in dicatorships....

Why is it okay for us to send our youngest, best and brightest to die for no proven reason?

Why was it okay for us to use a nuclear bomb on a country - but it's not okay for other countries to even HAVE one?

What makes the USA believe that they are the end and and be all when it comes to worldwide morality when we can't even feed all of our own children - or their parents?

Why do we support Israel, a country that has been flouting a UN resolution since 1967 - the one that told them to evacute the occupied territories of Palestine - but we are jumping all over a country that's only been breaking the rules for what - 13 years?

How can anyone, who has ever lost a loved one, feel that justice is served by forcing hundreds of others to lose their loved ones?

What makes us so certain that the goad that Iraq needs to use those supposed weapons of mass destruction isn't massing in the Persian Gulf right now?

Why is that everyone always forgets that out of the 19 terrorists - 14 were from Saudi Arabia? Why does everyone forget that Osama is from Saudi Arabia?

Could it be possible that the Axis of Evil is a lot closer to home?
