Why do you oppose the war?

I oppose the war for many reasons.
1) Iraq has not made any kind of military advancement on the USA. The USA feel that they represent a threat with WMD. I feel that Bush represents a threat to my opportunities to make a living as an electrician but you don't see me driving tanks into the White House
2) It is against international law to attack a sovereign country. Slice and dice it any way you want, that is what Bush has done
3) I live in Boston and I am afraid of retalitory attacks by people here in the USA
many other reasons too long to write

None of the above. The overriding concern is to make us safe here in the US. That's it. That's the only determination. It's my opinion that thewar, regardless of success, will make us less safe than having chosen not to go to war. I could be wrong. That's just my judgment. It's about 75/25 confidence level...or in American odds -300 bad idea. Not to sound uncaring, but the whole idea about liberating liberating Iraq doesn't cut it for me. It is not our job to lberate the oppressed of the world. That would be a full-time job and it's not out problem.
It is against International Law to Attack a sovereign country???
That is the fukest funniest thing I have ever heard one of you liberals say.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
What does international law say about poisoning your people, raping, torturing and killing dissidents; the list of human rights violations in Iraq is immense.
Please, I need more humor today.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
That was one of the dumbest arguments I have ever heard.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
You are truly a dope.

Kenny,
I myself do not agree with Greg for I am a super Republican and pro the war in Iraq, but it makes us righties look bad if we insult the lefties point of view. Lets respect, or if anyone of us makes a comment that seems stupid from the other side, then we wil be justifiably subject to insults.

Red Cross: Iraq Wounded Too High to Count
Associated Press
Sunday 6 April 2003
GENEVA - The number of casualties in Baghdad is so high that hospitals have stopped counting the number of people treated, the International Committee of the Red Cross said Sunday.
"No one is able to keep accurate statistics of the admitted and transferred war wounded any longer as one emergency arrival follows the other in the hospitals of Baghdad,'' the ICRC said in a statement.
"Ambulances are picking up the wounded and running them to the triage areas and on to hospitals,'' it said. "Some of the wounded try to reach the nearest hospitals by foot.''
The neutral Swiss-run organization - the main aid agency left in Iraq - gave no estimates on the number of deaths and did not confirm U.S. Central Command estimates that between 2,000 and 3,000 Iraqi fighters were killed in Saturday's foray into Baghdad by American armored vehicles.
"All of the hospitals are under pressure and the medical staff is working without respite,'' said the ICRC statement. "Despite the intense and desperate activity, hospital staff is still managing the situation.''
But it said that hospitals urgently needed more water supplies. Given the general power outage in Baghdad, most hospitals and water installations are now being powered by backup generators. It said it was getting many requests for service kits, spare parts and repairs for water plants.
The ICRC said that Red Cross delegates who reached the southern city of Basra reported that the medical situation was generally under control and that there were no signs of epidemics. But it said it feared the worst for other hospitals outside Baghdad and Basra.

ari fleischer own words...
(excerpted from yahoo: http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20030404/ts_nm/iraq_usa_bush_dc )
While finding Saddam -- either dead or alive -- would be "helpful," White House spokesman Ari Fleischer (news - web sites) said Bush's "definition of victory" was removing the current government from power and eliminating the country's alleged weapons of mass destruction.
