Attack someone that posses a threat......
No way, we should wait untill we get hit first... 2,000 lives is a small price to pay for the feeligns of another country!
F-ing Bush!

i thought Afghanistan was the threat? but we spend all our time, lives and money in Iraq. i'm confused.
is the US a better place now........is Iraq?

Iraq is better off without Saddam, Yes.
Look, after 9-11... If your a country,and you say your going to attack the US, Expect an ass kicking.
We can't afford to ignore it

Afghanistan was a threat. Irag is still a threat due to the insurgents, which is why we spend time, money and lives in Iraq.
As a side note, many european countries had soldiers in West Germany after WWII to preserve peace and maintain order (along with the larger countries' armies - USA, UK, France). Lasted until the early 1950's. What I am trying to say? It takes a long time to change a totalitarian society to a democracy. Seems like our "drive-through" society has a hard time realizing this.

Iraq is a threat to itself and our oil.
America should have just invaded Venezuala, it's closer and jungle warfare just seems like the lesser of two evils when comparing it to the desert.

I don't know.. I think jungle warfare is much worse. How many lives lost in Vietnam vs Iraq and Afgan? Hell, places like Cambodia are still paying the price for that war almost every day..
That's true... Either way it sucks... I suppose Iraq is more of an urban guerilla warfare situation... A damn can of worms is what it is... I wish all of our men and Women the best over there in that awful situation, and truly hope that the situation can be resolved sooner than later...
Hmm, let me see, and Venezuela has had UN inspections, no-fly zones, a dictator that has gassed citizens (or rather subjects), invaded a neighboring country, given money to families of (sucessful) suicide bombers, etc., etc.
We've been in Venezuela before. American and other countries' oil companies helped get their oil industry going before the Venezuelan government nationalized the industry. Venezuela now has Lagoven, Maraven, and Petroven. There may be other goverment owned oil companies too, but these were the ones I saw when I was in Maracaibo and Caracas in 1991.
Why didn't we invade Venezuala back then if we do this just for oil? And, where are the oil fields in former Yogoslavia (if this is the only reason why we intervene)?

"If necessary, however, under long-standing principles of self defense, we do not rule out the use of force before attacks occur _ even if uncertainty remains as to the time and place of the enemy's attack," Bush wrote.
Iran should watch out......

Actually there has been quite a lot in the news lately about Canada's wealth of oil sand. Extrude the crude and they've got a TON of dino. Let's hope we can just make a deal and not invade!

At the very least we could take their diamonds and use it to pay to someone else's oil.
i have never been really impressed with Canadian Beer. and yes i have tried a lot of them. they can keep their Molson and Labatt up there. but i will take a Trafalger or Le Fin Du Monde anytime.
i always keep on hand either Red Hook, Magic Hat, Victory or Yuengling. good US micros and good Euro beers are always a safe bet. and Guinness is good anytime.
