And if thats all you have to say in response to anything regarding Iraq you dont know anything either. I've said it many times before and I'll say it again, I still have'nt seen any reason from any of those who oppose action against Saddam why we should'nt go. He's killed thousands of innocent people, used western hostages (children mind you) as human shields so the US wouldnt bomb him, gassed the Kurds, used chemical weapons against Iran and his own soldiers, rules with an iron fist and has anyone opposing him, not in hiding shot, has and is developing chemical and biological weapons and is willing to use them. There is no other way to get rid of a person like this BUT hostility and war. Any other way you suggest is pure fantasy.
The majority of people will support war if the UN give the go ahead, that not good enough for you ? Even after Saddam has fucked the UN around for the past 12 years ? Give me a break. It's time for him to be dealt with severely.
On the Kosovo front:
I distinctly remember seeing quite a few disturbing images on TV about the ethnic cleansing over there, basically like the Jews were treated in WW2, starved, beaten, lined up against walls and shot. There were graves found.....

Just one of the many news pieces related to this issue, ofcourse there were conflicting views, but it still narrows down to same bunch of assholes, and still the fact that mass graves were found. I've read so many accounts about this that I find it offensive that you would even think that atrocities never happened over there, both from the Serbs and unfortunately by NATO with their pathetic bombing campaign. I've read accounts from British SAS troops who were over there, US troops, Dutch, and some Aussie soldiers who were over there, and they saw some pretty fucked up shit. I dont know where you got your info from pal, but it's full of shit. Hell, what about the accounts of Serb snipers shooting civilians in the streets....I've seen pictures, and it fucking happened.
And the reason I insulted you ? Because I dont like you, thats why.[/quote:a1cf2]
My sister had a family from Bosnia stay with them during the confict over there.. They are Muslims, and were lucky to get out with there lives from what I understand.... They went back to Bosnia after the War, and have said how thankful the people are that the U.S. stepped in..,.. they have returned to U.S. a couple of times prior to 9/11. Since then they pulled one their daughters out of the Univeristy of Oregan because the are afraid of what our government might do,, They have another daughter who is married and lives in the states, she can no longer where her traditional clohting because of the insults and jeers she gets. She is also thinking about leaving.
Wookie, I may not see eye to eye with you on Iraq. But thank you for bringing to the front what was going on in Kosovo/Bonsia...
