why i am against the war in Iraq

OK, OK, 30 % was tongue in cheek rather than science.

But i still don't think the people really get what they need in these situations. Too much money and power trying to bend their minds.

"But i still don't think the people really get what they need in these situations. Too much money and power trying to bend their minds."

I would agree with that. We are in the early/middle stages of our primary process where our politicians are spending millions of dollars just to earn the right to spend millions more in the general election.

Each candidate basically tells each group, in each stop, exactly what they want to hear, without any consideration of what can actually be done and what would be best for society at large.

I find the whole thing exhausting, miserable and a monumental waste of money/time/resources.

Obama is the one light in this disaster and I don't know if he's going to be able to make it.

In the UK there are limits on how much the politricktions can spend on this process. The limits are too high but the amounts spent are no-where near as crazy as the US.

I fear for Obama if he wins.

I fear the Babylon Business will deliberately wreck up the economy (even more) just as they once did in the UK to destroy socialist governments and discredit them.

Worse still, I fear a plot from the War Eagles to 'dispose' of this, to them, unwanted upstart.

If he gets in the Oval Room, it will be a miracle. If he stays in, even more of one.

we're in iraq for the oil.

you can preach terrorism till the cows come home...but you can rest assured there are several alterior motives for everything.

its just a damn shame we couldnt be dumping all that money into alternative fuels, become more self sufficant.

that just shows how @%#!ing near sighting we are...kind of frustrating. like what do you say we take these blinders off eh?

Yep the cost of this stupid war in terms of cash and lives is shocking.

So negative. Such a wasted opportunity.

And it's all going to get worse.

In case you didn't you **have to** read Naomi Klein's article 'Baghdad Year Zero', type it in google and it will come, it's a bit long so it's worth to find and print a pdf version.

Bush suffers from low intelligence. He is a war criminal. Should be retired, soon. Best therapy for him is to keep his mouth shut and to open the bottles again.

[Chris]

I once heard a psychiatrist say that he thought that Bush suffered from "wet brain". Based on his mannerisms and speech patterns he may have done physiological damage to his brain from alcohol abuse....

I don't know if the above is true, but I do know Bush is dumb; very dumb; very, very dumb; very, very, very dumb. I'm just happy that we're at about 355 days and counting.

[leggo rocker]

Anyone seen the website that compares Bush pictures with those of chimps. It's a real scream.

we all must unite to oppose the genocide in Iraq.Peacefully though, and hope the war shall end soon.
