Brenda, Your response said much of what I wanted to. And, I have to agree that I read some antagonism into your post, Kasey, whether you meant it or not.
I'd be interested to hear from those who support a war against Iraq. I have a few specific questions: - What specifically is the rationale for the U.S. making the first strike? - What is the overriding reason for war now? (Why war? Why now?) (The weapons didn't appear last week. They've been there for years.) - If you feel there is danger of Saddam Hussein using weapons of mass destruction, do you think the danger is less likely under a different regime? I personally find the push for war ludicrous. The fact that so many are willing to listen to a president who reduces foreign policy to personal vendetta says something about where we are right now. Yes, the U.S. and the world were terribly wronged on September 11. But I hope we are a nation of laws, and those laws preclude action such as that which is being proposed in Washington. I hope for peace and eventual understanding. lots of love Anne
