I am not a christian but i am against the war. I don't think we should be going to war with a third-world nation which is really not a threat to us.

There are certain reasons why I support the war, and others why I don't. This war is a complicated issue and you have to really look close into both sides' view to get a complete understanding of why the United States and the rest of the coalition is at war. I don't like war, but there must be something that the governments of these countries know that I don't.

I am originally against it, but I am seeing the other side of the story.

I am all for it! Though I am dissapointed that my country is against it!

I am in support of the war....I wish we didn't have to go to war but I believe it is necessary. There is a great country song that just came out "Have you Forgotten" it talks about 9/11 and what we are fighting about.  It goes like this:

Some people complain about this war we're gettin' in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend

(chorus) Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your Homeland under fire and Her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those Towers fell we had neighbors still inside going through a living hell...

And you say we shouldn't worry about Bin Laden...Have you forgotten

They took all the footage off my TV
They say it's too disturbing for you and me
It will just breed anger...that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday.

Some say this Country's just looking for a fight
Well after 9/11 man, I'd have to say that's right

(repeat chorus)

And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden...Have you forgotten

I've been there with the soldiers who've gone away to war and you can bet that they remember just what they're fighting for

Have you forgotten all the people killed yeah some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field. Have you forgotten about our Penegon All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden

Have you forgotten... Have you forgotten...Have you forgotten.

In short Yes I believe it is the time for war....A poll might be a good idea to add to this thread.

Love and God Bless

Iraq did not attack us on 9/11, muslim terrorists did. there is no evidence of a link between al-qaida and iraq.

  Maybe you should do a little more research.  Not only are they linked but Saddam Insane is killing his own people and torturing them...so we should just turn our backs and say it's not our problem. They have weapons of mass destruction...should we wait for them to use them???  Nobody likes war but sometimes you got to fight for a better good.

Love and God Bless.

i am uncertain about the war because i don't understand why we are doing this. if we are truly diarming a dangerous psychopath then great...if we are bullying people for no reason other then warmongering then nay. some say this is a war for oil (gas prices went up today were i live) and others say that it is against islam...i am lost. if iraq poses no threat to us, but the government is truly committing atrocities against the iraqi people then that should be stopped. my only concern comes from the fact that i don't trust bush at all. i suppose i should have been here when the vote was on...but i wasn't..

Sometimes to have peace you must go to war.

There is no proof of Iraqi involment in the attacks on 11/9, there is however unsubstantiated allegations that originated in the White House.

Saddam Hussein is many things but he is NOT stupid, he wants to stay in power so there would have been no reason to:

1. Ally with mabey the greatest threat to his rule (Osama Bin Laden who would gladly see Saddam Hussein hung from a light pole).

2. In any way risk being linked to a futile terrorist attack on the USA and bring down the wrath of the USA on himself when there was nothing to gain for himself.

3. And the "He hates America..." defense is not valid, yes he hates the US but not so much he would not attack the US without being sure of complete victory.

Yes he is torturing his own people, suprise! There are a many dictatorships in the world that does that, a US allie, Saudi Arabia comes to mind...

As for WMD:s, that remains to be seen. However Saddam is not stupid as I have stated before, there is no way he would have used them unless he was sure of victory nad that would not have been possible. And 93% of the WMD:s we know he had has been destroyed, if the inspectors had been allowed to do their job he could have been disarmed peacefully...

And if you think Bush and Co is doing this for the greater good, think again...
