There are polls in newspapers and on TV but not one asked me, did they not ask you either? So here is the poll for us.
Do you support this war in Iraq?
you might also tell us where you live.
Not trying to start a debate just a poll.
Are you asking whether I support a particular side in the war, or that I support the general concept that any war in Iraq is a good war?
Boyo Jim obviously it is the fact that there is a war that he/she is asking about.
I can’t decide weither I suport it or not. I know it’s rumsfeld’s war and not idiot’s (Bush). I know sadman needs to be removed. I also know that this war may create 1000 bin-ladens. And that sadman may kill millions of his people by setting off chemical weapons (or even nuclear - maybe he has managed to hide them so well that we believe he doesn’t have them)
Lobsang I think you misunderstood. Jim was saying that we are at war anyway and there’s nothing we can do either way about it. Asking if we support for the war is a moot point, really. At least I think that is what he meant. 
Yup, hadda be done. You go, Cowboy! And the Brits and Ozzies as well! They’ve been there before.
As far as I can tell the OP asked something along the lines of ‘Do you support the removing of an evil regime using war, specifically the sadman regime, after all other methods have been exhausted?’ (not in so many words).
I was merely trying to expose a little unnecesary pedantry on Jim’s part by saying it’s easy to see what the OP meant. I believe there is an excess of pedantry on the boards. If Jim was not being pedantic then I apologise Boyo Jim
I don’t think I’m being pedantic. I’m asking for specifity. I don’t support the war. I support it ending. At this point I support it ending with an American victory, as that is better than the alternative. But I also believe that America is violating international law by pursuing this war, and that other countries might justifiably invoke sanctions against us.
Yes.
If what I have just seen is even remotely true, then I strongly oppose the war -
Apparently bush thinks he is playing a part in the ‘story’ of christianity by destroying the ‘forces of evil’ in the middle east, and paving the way for the second coming of christ.
It sounds far fetched - I bloody hope it is. Sometimes I am reminded that I fucking hate religeon.
I hate the fact that the world’s only superpower is so strongly religeous. All that power in the hands of people who believe in pure fantasy!
I am sorry if I offend anyone, I am willing to believe there is such a thing as a ‘good christian’ and that most christians are ‘good christians’ I hate that I am forced to offend people by my hatred of the world’s main religeons and the things they make peolple do/believe!
I oppose this war in Iraq.
I say this not with anti-American sentiment, but on the grounds that it should not have gone ahead without UNSC authorisation.
I hope it ends soon, and that the ramifications aren’t as catastrophic as they may well be.
No, no,no,no,no,no,no,no,no!!!
This war is illegal, imoral, and insane. If people knew Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, had no weapons to threaten the US except possibly some left over from the 80’s supplied by Uncle Sam, and knew that it is the best recruiting tool that the fundamentalist fanatics could have hoped for,support would be in the toilet overnight.
And that’s not even going into the fact that people don’t know that this war has been a project years in the making by a small clique of neoconservatives around Wolfowitz, Perle, et. al.
Yes.

What galen said.
Yes.
The more I hear about Hussein, the more I believe this is the right thing to do.
I also don’t think we’ve heard the last of WMD & ties to terrorism.
I don’t support the war. This war is not going to eliminate (even in a miniscule way) the original reason for going to war - which BTW I barely remember, what with all the “we’re liberating the Iraqis” talk. Sadly, all the goodwill and support America garnered in the aftermath of 9/11, even from most traditionally anti-american peoples, has been mindlessly and needlessly squandered away. And what’s worse, I believe this war will result in more rather than less terrorist attacks on American targets the world over. It’s indirectly made the world an even more dangerous place to live in.
However, now that the war is on though, I’d much rather have an American victory than anything else. Hussein & EVERYONE in his regime need to be dumped on the moon, or someplace equally far away from anywhere.
India.
Yes.
The Allies ain’t perfect. But Saddam is evil. He needs to be stopped, just as Hitler did. It boils down to whether one believes more lives will be lost by going to war, or by not going. In the long term, not going is more dangerous, IMHO. This is a just war. I support it. I grieve for those killed on both sides, but I support the allied invasion of Iraq.
Do nothing, and see what happens.
No.

Basically what I think, too
I think we really should have finished this years ago. The world has been too nice to him, holding out in hopes that he would come clean and be honest. Of course, he has disappointed us time and time again. The fact remains that a bunch of people who are more knowledgeable than I about the subject have determined that he poses a clear and present danger to the world, and while I am personally against taking life in general, since I believe lives aren’t ours to take, I simultaneously believe something needs to be done to rectify the situation. Even if it means some lives will be lost.
And I’m from Texas. Guess that makes me a typical redneck hayseed gung-ho Bush yes-man who wants to blow up them dang Iraqis, huh? :rolleyes:
No. Lobsang mentions “all other methods have been exhausted” as a given, but I don’t buy it. If I did, I would have a different point of view. I also agree that the Hussein regime is evil, but war is not the only way to solve your problems.
And I’m from Massachusetts. I guess that makes me a typical, leftist, anarchist, bleeding-heart liberal who wants to give the world a big group hug, huh? :rolleyes:
Okay, I admit it. I am.
In a word, no.
