What it is Saddam? Right On!
The sad, and rather scary part about all this is that now the United States is in one hell of a pickle. Most watchers believed the other members of the Security Council would eventually come around to the United States' position, especially after Saddam continued to avert the resolution (a practice he has employed for over a decade). But that clearly has not happened. The opposite has taken hold, and the United States now appears to be completely alone. Alone, I should add, alongside a defenseless Turkey (thanks to the French / German / Belgian power grab with NATO), and a world unable to mentally grasp the fate thousands, or possibly millions, of people may face if Saddam is allowed to keep, and distribute, his weaponry.Comments

Funny how the Americans in support of the war use Saddam's imaginary cache of weapons as justification. Is it really neccessary to remind everyone the US nor the UN weapons inspectors are yet to provide any evidence of said weapons. Wake up, the only country that needs some serious disarming is your own.

What does Todd know?
Not much about the global situation, apparently. I visit your blog 'cos of its interesting and often informed commentary about new-media, but lately I'm picking up on some ill-informed commentary about the war situation.
The only power-grab I'm reading about is coming from uncle sam, with deep-brown support from Blair and Johnnie Howard with even-browner support from our media-monopolies (anyone surprised?).
Fair-minded-americans stand up: you won't believe just how isolated your country is becoming on this issue. Yes, even here in Australia.
Get informed. Please.

it's too bad that bush is more concerned with winning over the UN instead of the parents, sons, and daughters of those who are going to fight. the same ones who are protesting daily.

Steven, no offense, but the thinking ppl of your country would likely have more respect for their president if he HAD the support of the UN. For a while there, Bush sounded more like tyrannical dictator stating the "the UN has to decide if its relevant or not". WTF. Comments like that scare other countries into believing your country is bent on a non-subtle (read:hostile) approach to world domination. (As opposed to the economic war your country is waging).
I would wholeheartedly support a war if there was just cause. I think all the protesters would. Hearsay, rhetoric and flag waving don't justify war. Wake up.

Because some readers are posting comments not at all related to the intent of this post, and because others have decided to attack me on a somewhat personal nature, when every opinion - mine and yours - is just as valid and should not descend to name calling and unfair remarks, comments for this and the main Iraq post I wrote are closed.
I sincerely appreciate those who took the time to write fair, informed comments.
