OK, that's enough super duper, way, way left/liberal bashing.

There are always the bad sheep to any group.

I don't mind war protesting, if it's peaceful (the irony of that statement overwhelms me). What I dislike are the insults. Insults have no place in a protest or when trying to get a point of view across. I really don't think equating President Bush to a monkey makes a very strong political statement. I see a lot of sheep out there, on both side of the issue ("the" refering to any "pop" topic, something everyoone has heard about, and has an opinion for, but knows very little about).

What's really funny, is a general consensus among war protestors seems to be that they want Bush out of office before he does something bad. But the whole Presidential position for doing anything in Iraq is they want to get rid of Saddam before he can do anything bad. :?

I have my argument against using any force in Iraq right now. But it's well thought out rather than what the protesters I have had the pleasure of meeting (in life/or on the internet) use as their main reasons for protesting any war.

We are! We have been the only thing keeping North Korea from totally eradicating South Korea for the past 50 years. If it weren't for us they would be steaming piles of ash and pestilence. Were just being totally passive aggressive about it. Like if we wait on the border, they’ll line up to be shot one by one. Trust me, the US has their hands in every conflict world-wide. Some times I think our government doesn't know whether it's going shit or go blind.

Yes the US has done stuff for other countries and the general welfare of the world including helping south korea but didn't north korea disband or something from the the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty that may be a sign that maybye they should do somthing before it comes to nuclear because no offense but you guys have enough nukes to destroy the world 50 time over and a nuclear war would just suck.

"Citing the British dossier, entitled Iraq - Its Infrastructure of Concealment, Deception and Intimidation in front of a worldwide television audience Mr Powell said: "I would call my colleagues' attention to the fine paper that the United Kingdom distributed... which describes in exquisite detail Iraqi deception activities."

Channel Four News has learnt that the bulk of the nineteen page document was copied from three different articles - one written by a graduate student.

Even typographic mistakes in the original articles are repeated.

Number 10 says the Mukhabarat - the main intelligence agency - is "spying on foreign embassies in Iraq". The original reads: "monitoring foreign embassies in Iraq."

And the provocative role of "supporting terrorist organisations in hostile regimes" has a weaker, political context in the original: "aiding opposition groups in hostile regimes."

Umm... shouldn't it be "Je ne vous comprends pas. Je ne parle pas anglais"?

I believe so. :?
