Let me ask you this. Are you prepared to do the fighting yourself? Are you prepared to be witness and to be held responsible for the thousands of death that will result from a military invasion? What proof do you or does anyone have that Saddam Hussein is a threat to world peace? Thankfully, our Prime Minister is asking for more proof before he commits Canadian troops to join in any military action.
Finally, why now? Why at this particular point in times does the U.S. and Britain feel that an attack against Iraq is necessary. It couldn't possibly have anything to do with the fact that the U.S. economy is floundering, could it? Do you really feel that it is justifiable to kill thousands of innocent people in order to strengthen our economy?

I totally agree. Why now? This question should be asked more often.

Do you think sane people declare war to improve economic performance? If so, please never run for office (it would be terrifying!) Please understand, it is deeply offensive to accuse people of having disgusting motives for their actions or beliefs. It is a liberty that left-leaning Canadians feel they have, but the rest of us must start levelling equally offensive motives behind the anti-war activists.

Could it be that people against war are secretly hoping Saddam will "solve" the Palestinian conflict once and for all?

Could it be that people against war are secretly hoping Saddam will sneak a nuke into Detroit, set it off and guarantee the Red Wings won't make it to the Stanley Cup finals?

Could it be that people against war want Saddam to eliminate those trouble-making Kurds?
