Do you think Bush Jr. is fulfilling the dream of his father Bush Sr.?To get back at Iraqi's President,Sadam Hussein? His latest Iraqi Air Strike has left us speechless.Are we expecting a World war three?Saddam has threatened a counter strike if USA & Britain continue their Air strike.This is shameless.It is times like these that we begin to realize we miss Clinton.Atleast he is a non violent president.This Dum,under average I.Q president from Texan Farm is going to bring the economy down.We Protest! |

You're kidding right??? Dude, Clinton led bombing campaigns in Somalia, Bosnia, Kosovo and Serbia and a much larger one in Iraq in 98 than this last one by Bush. How do you envision this thrid world war unfolding? |

Mad mac
Yeah Clinton did,you are right.But look at the circumstances.Somalia,Bosnia and Kosova needed Military intervention to stop the internal crisis they were facing.In other words,clinton was targeting the rebels who were responsible for the suffering of the innocent.
The latest Bush Air strike is just a demostration of Muscle flex to show that he is the chief in action.His Air strike at baghdad was not a sound decision.Civilians were victims not Sadam.I think Bush Sr. is living his dream through his son.I envision world war three because the middle eastern nations will be outraged by this unfair Air strike that can very much make them attack back,this time under strong united of nations,icluding Russia which has publicly expressed their outrage at United states.
In my professional opinion,i predict a war building.This is shame.I am really concerned.I blame Bush senior for the catalst of this ongoing agenda he has under the pretext of his poster incomepetent son,now called the president of the united states.I protest! |

Although there is much fan fare being made of this particular skirmish with Iraq the US government has been basically bombing Irag for quite a while now. The questions that are coming up are not so much about another world war, but questions on another arms race. Bush seems very keen on developing a missile defense system which may very well lead to a cancellation of the anti-bellistic missiles treaty that was signed some time ago. Cries are coming from US allies not to mention other super powers such as China.. It'll be very interesting to see what develops here. |

I think Iragis have become a punching bag of Americans and British government. It does not matter who is the President here in United States,the only sure victims are the poor people of Iragis and not Saddam Hussien. There was no justification in bombing Iragis at this time, I think the reason bombing Iragis was to show the world that the new president was not a wimp as many of his distractors thought so. But bombing Iragis at this time sends a bad message to the the Arab world and muslims in general. This kind of naked aggression would have a negative views amongst US arab allies. Continue on onslaught may have politcal upheaveals in the Arab countries.Its better for the new president to use other peaceful resolutions rather than using violence as means of resolving the issues in that part of the world. Like i mentioned earlier the real victims here are the people of iragis. |

Well here's my read on the situation. The last three US administrations have pretty much decided that Hussein goes or the sanctions and bombings stay. Right or wrong (and I personally think this approach is a mistake, even though Hussein does need to go) it's not going to change. But I wouldn't read too much into "Middle Eastern and Russian idignatiy to US and British action." The leaders of Middle Eastern countries have to be careful not to look like lackeys in the eyes of their population. So if something is very unpopular with their populations they make weak protests for public consumption. The same is true of Russia, which desperately needs US and western economic help and would never endanger that help over Iraq (face it, no one really cares what happens to the Iraqi people - sad as that is). Recently I heard that Syria, Iraq and Iran were looking at ways to mend fences and come together to forge some sort of alliance. But what can this alliance really do. They don't have the military power to close the gulf, and if they did they would be cutting off their noses to spite their faces. They need the revenues from oil sales just like the west needs the oil. If they invade Saudi Arabia and or Kuwait the US and it's allies will intervene. If they attack the Israelis they'll get clobbered, even without western help (the Israelis have one of the best armored forces in the world, perfect for desert terrain. The Merkava III is a hell of an armored vehicle and the Israelis are well schooled to boot). So I wouldn't anticipate a global war. China wants business, and it too has a very limited ability to project power outside of China (confining oceans, jungles and mountains). Russian couldn't deploy a single corps outside of Russia and it's equipment is second rate at best anyway. In practical terms there's no one ready to fight right now. Any challenges will have to be asymetrical and I would argue that for all the rhetoric, everyone has a bigger stake in maintaining the peace than in starting a global war. If the Arab states want to do themselves a favor they can kill Sadam Hussein and solve the problem once and for all. |

Well, the whole thing is a game. Who believes U.S.A is against dictator Sadam? If you believe what CNN reports, you only one of many people who still do not understand that CNN and all major news networks owns same people. Bush, Clinton and any U.S.A president, for that matter the whole West is dependent on these people and they cannot have any view which not supported by the owners. For example, there were lot of critics against secretary Powel in the U.S.A media this week. He would better to watch out!!!. The owners do not think he serves the Israel interest 100% .No one who have different opinion survive in the past, this Powel have been long time in the game but it seems, he is overestimates his power.
For Sadam, they do not want remove him, they could have done long time ago and they can do anytime. But the question is, do they want him removed? The answer is no. They have over 300,0000 men there and control the whole medal East where they only supported the royal families and dictators . In fact they want Sadam to stay but the same time they want him to be weak. He should not have any weapon in first place which can be treat for Israel.
For Bush ability, ones again you believe the CNN propaganda. He is much better than Clinton in many ways. He has more dignity and disagree the owner's some extent. That is way he is under pressure. The owner's are still bargaining with him nationally and internationally if he agrees everything they want, life will be easy for him and the economic you mentioned would improve. Clinton was corrupted men and they made him what he became |
