What's your opinion? Why should or shouldn't we go to war with Iraq? Throw down your gauntlet and take a stand. Be warned though, I've seen chats like this get ugly!

I'll start off. I'm against an unprovoked war against a large civilian population just so we can pay ten cents less at the pumps.

I agree with J.H. for many reasons.  1st, suppose some other country decides we are a threat to their security?  Do they have the right to a preemptive strike?  Suppose China decides Tiwan is a threat?  BAAAAD precident.  2nd, the situation will omly get worse.  Iraq will, I'll bet, become an Islamic, fundamentalist, Taliban-like state, not a democracy.  3rd, I don't think war is ever a good option - defense sure, but not aggression.  I think this crisis is being manufactured to distract our attention from Mr. Bush's failure to capture Bin Ladan and his domestic failures, from his anti-environmental, anti-labor, anti-women agenda, which he is slipping through under the radar to benefit his corporate cronies.
