Don't be silly. These people are in the business of misinformation and propoganda, not wearing their hearts on their sleeve. Waiter, could I get a reality check please? > Bush doesn't want to go to war with Iraq, but he knows that it > is inevitable. War is only inevitable if the powers that be aren't *smart enough* (hence, "morons") to find a peaceful solution. There is so much deception going on right now on the part of the US administration in their relations with their citizens, that it is not funny at all. Suuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeee Dubya doesn't wanna go to war... > Who attacked first, the terrorists or the US? Simple - the US. Wake up and smell the coffee. Do you think people are willing to sacrifice their lives for nothing? There's a long history of international abuse and intimidation (of which most dumb Americans remain blissfully unaware) -- that's one of the reasons that Americans are so despised, wherever they travel abroad. > Iraq is known to support terrorism and has been developing > chemical and biological weapons for years. Kind of like the USSA, and a lot of other countries I bet. So what's your point? [snip] > > Find this hard to believe?

You're not getting it: *why* are these people willing to give their lives? I'll bet it's *not* because they are insane fanatical religious freaks. I'll bet it has more to do with the US's horrendous foreign policy since WWII. The US cannot expect to fuck people over again and again and not have it come back on them sooner or later -- that would be totally illogical. So what lesson has the current US administration (perhaps we should just start to refer to them as the 'Junta', as Gore Vidal does) learned? Nothing. The stupid bastards are going to take the whole thing to the next level: piss off even more people, and *increase* the probability of retaliation -- yet again. Yes Dubya and his cronies truly are truly "morons". What else can you call behaviour so lacking in basic intelligence?
