Good for you. Though I would venture to say that in time you will find yourself leaning one way or the other. So far your emotional rantings are very media inspired.

Regardless, I don't think we should jump into another piss ass country because "he is testing on his own people." Big damn deal. Hardly anyone cares that we went over there, and to continue to focus attention on the middle east we now "suspect" Syria and Iran of attempting to acquire nuclear arms and support terrorists.
It wasn't "about testiing on his own people". It was the WMD. and EVERYONE thought he had em. The UN, Germany, France, England, Israel. Evreryone. And if he did have them, he would happily see them in the hands of terrorists ready to blow up America.

And when you resort to swirly_the_turd don't you think that is a tad childish? Really.
Is not a "swirley toilet fish" a Turd? It's your name. You wanted to be a creatively named turd, not me.

And to respond to the example of African Americans being targeted it was called the Tuskegee Project. The US government had syphilis infected prostitutes attempt to infect over 400 black american sharecroppers to study the affects of syphilis on the human body. Obviously, we now know from that study that it destroys your neural pathways and brain tissue over time and can easily be treated in the early stages with antibiotics.
Prove that this is real. It would not surprise me if it was pre-civil war. Anything sooner would be mighty interesting indeed. And please show a credible source.

Also, prove to me its not about resources. We found no weapons of mass destruction, the army broke in days because of no morale, and the people want us out of there. We trained Hussein, let him go. We're correcting a damn mistake we made and the extra resources certainly are nice aren't they? I mean with the extra oil, gas prices have only what .. doubled?
Come on. Really. Back it up with facts. Show me primary source evidence, pal.

I couldn't care less about Iraq, but now we've made enemies of other mostly muslim countries and for what? No weapons, nearly two thousand dead, and a headache that will last until mid 2006 (as of now).
And for what? Iraq WILL be a democracy. And what will happen when the surrounding countries see Iraq in economic and political properity with rule of the people?

Besides, we're also the country with over ten thousand nukes telling other countries they can't make a single one.
Would you rather it be ten thousand countries, each with a nuke?

Deterence won the cold war and it keeps the world stable today.
