    Hey perhaps secure the Anbar pipeline and invade Syria so we can use the pipeline . After all they do actually have lots of WMDs , and WMDs are a good reason for an invasion

    There are few things more annoying than some idiot who has never done anything trying to say definitively how something should be done.

    One vote for the pacifist. I'm european, and I spend most of my free time smelling flowers and decorating.

    ROFL! Excellent put, my friend!

    I voted it is an immoral and illegal war.
    Illegal because the US has no business in how another independent country runs its internal business.
    Immoral - well, where do I begin ?... Hypocrisy, lies, making a mess out of those people's lives...

    As for the practicality of the war, I don't care. A war should have nothing to do with practicality, imo.
    I'm somewhat of a pacifist, but I didn't put that down as a reason - I believe that sometimes wars are inevitable, and I'll support them in those cases, despite my convictions. I can't smell flowers, though, I'm allergic.

    Pindar: re anonymity: I don't think you needed to worry too much about that. In all honesty, we prolly all pretty much know what the others think about this - remember the "your predefined Backroom stance" thread ? It's ok, either way - most people seem to say what they chose.
    Therapy helps, but screaming obscenities is cheaper.

    "If the policy of the government, upon vital questions affecting the whole people, is to be irrevocably fixed by decisions of the Supreme Court...the people will have ceased to be their own rulers, having to that extent practically resigned the government into the hands of that eminent tribunal."
