Im not saying here that Saddam doesnt need to be dealt with, and also terrorism, but im afraid that by going to war with Saddam it will just feed the terrorists with reasons for further attacks... All the Arabs and muslims see is bombs being dropped on Afghanistan, Iraq, and palestine. Who could then blame them for hating countries like Britain and America.

>This was a very good article, thanx Ritch!
I may have been a bit harsh in my post yesterday, I was simply trying to see it from the ordinary Iraqi's point of view....... I do support the troops afterall its their job and they are simply following orders, I feel that it is the governments that are to blame for their way of thinking... Lets hope Bush does keep all his promises and treat post war Iraq fairly.....
One other thing I saw on the news was that all the contractors that go into Iraq once the war is over will be Americans..... Funny that isnt it Ritch!
