It's an international and severely punishable crime to go to war with a nation without UN approval. But that didn't stop them. And who the hell is going to argue with the United States? They possess enough nuclear firepower to decide the fate of everyone on the planet at the push of a button.

As does Russia, I should think...that is, if they haven't disarmed them all already. Also, I don't believe we need UN support to fight a war. If I'm wrong, by all means prove me wrong, but if it's really a punishable crime, I suggest the UN get around to the punishment part.

The American army went to war with Iraq, killed hundreds of innocent people, arrested and held Saddam Hussein, and killed his two sons. All on a whim. Also Bush was intimidating countries into joining him, saying that "you're either with us, or you're with the enemy". I think that not only is that just as bad as assassinating a head of state, it's also much worse.

You know, there's this thing I've heard about war...people die in it. I'm not making light of war and the tragedy associated with it, I'm just saying that people do die, especially in today's, "Total Warfare." However, it is probably of merit to note that we try to minimalize civilian casualties, whereas our enemy cares little about how many innocent brains and organs lie smashed against the street. Yes, we do kill innocents. But not on purpose. This is war, man. If you attack an enemy facility, there just might be some unfortunate souls standing too close. It is deeply unfortunate that they died, but it's not as if previous wars have been free of civilian casualties.
We removed Saddam Hussien. Darn good thing too. Famous for, amongst other things, trying to invade a nextdoor country, firing scud missles at isreal, openly supporting terrorism, and brutally butchering his own people, with special attention payed to the kurds. Gas chambers. Giant "blenders." Dismemberment. This was a man after Mullock's heart. We also killed his sons. Yep. Both of them. Each as bad as their dad, reportedly making torture their spectator sport of choice. I shudder to think if they were alive to seize control.
"If you are not with us, you are against us." Yep, that sums up alot quite nicely. You see, there are only two stances on terrorism: You support it, or you don't. This is no apathetic, "I don't give a #$%&," third option.
