Isn't it kinda scary?

[Camillian]

Omg they said were going to start bombing iraq on tuesday or like on st. patty's day. Bush is supposed to say " War" this weeked. Isn't that kinda scary that we are having a war a death and.....Ahh Yuck. Sudamn hosaine has a list of attack areas and i'm close to oshkosh truck ad that's #17 on the list. It probally won't reach up to #17 but you know like your city could be bombed? I mean what will happen? To Us, To them , To what?

[friend to IDOJ lover]

yes thats VERY scary.....but somethings got to change or will be back and forth going at it forever.....

[Camillian]

i mean I think we have to have war at times because it doesen't look like iraq wants to resolve their problems with us by communication so we have to fight. But if we don't need war I wouldn't want it. But I guess we do have to have it now I guess?:(

[Czas na Zywiec]

Yea, people around here are getting scared because we live just four hours away from one of the biggest millitary bases in the US. Way to go Bush, I hope you see the destruction you cause after this whole war is over. And not the physical damage, the emotional. Remember Nagasaki and Hiroshima? They're still recovering from the Atom bombs to this day...

[dawsongirl]

We might now get to see what the people in WWII Germany felt like. I NEVER WANTED TO KNOW THAT!!!!

Bush is a moron.

Well, Ive supported Bush since day 1 and will continue to support him in every decision that he makes- although I am petrified of war. Last year I was afraid of Osama and terrorists, now its Iraq.. its a never-ending battle.

Yea! Someone finally agrees with me. :happyface :happyface

That's why I'm so against the war. I don't want to see another Hiroshima or another World War. When I think war not only do I think death of innocent people, but also what if it's like Hiroshima and the radiation from all the bombings result in leukemia? What also makes Bush a moron is that he finds it okay to bomb a country and kill innocent civilians including children and babies, yet he won't allow abortion. Just what is he? Pro-life or anti-life?

But why? Iraq is in the same situation now as it was last year. And the year before that and the year before that. The only reason it's out in the public now is because Bush is making a big deal about it and forgetting the real enemy. I think Osama Bin Laden should be our main focus now, not Iraq. I mean if he wanted to get rid of cruel dictators that torture their people, why doesn't he go after North Korea and try to bomb them? *shrugs* Only time will tell what will happen.

But why what? LOl. Why do I support Bush? Because he is our president and I think he's doing the best job he can considering the life-threatening (literally) choices he has to make. Yah, I want him to make a decision ASAP, but on the otherhand it isnt something that should be rushed into. I dunno.. I dont pay too much attention to politics so I'd never win a debate, but I just like to put myself into other peoples shoes, and I know that if I were president we'd be digging a hole in hell right now. I have no idea what I would do. I am so petrified of death and bombs and chemicals that I would try so hard to reach some sort of an agreement, yet @ the same time Id just like to see Saddam and Osama destroyed so we'd never had to deal with them again.

Oh LOl. :bonk: Well, like I said I pay hardly any attention to news and politics, so to be honest I really dont know much about North Korea. Ive seen the man and Ive heard the stories, but to be honest with you.. I just dont know whats going on with NK.

[dawsongirl]

I'd be more worried about North Korea than Iraq if I were president. They'll probably bomb us while or backs are turned looking at Iraq!!!

Bush is just using this to make some dumbass legacy for himself. "If I rid the world of dictators, I'll be a hero." And kill half your population along the way. Smart....real smart.

Let me fill you in. :p North Korea, like Iraq, has a dictatorship where a tyrant leads and tortures his people. It's so secretive up there. No one is allowed to say a word about the leader without being killed. And they have nuclear weapons too. Except they differ from Iraq in that they admitted to the US that they have weapons and have started up their nuclear gererators and plants again. So you see, North Korea is a much bigger threat to us now, not to mention that they're closer to the US than Iraq.

Yet we seem to be ignoring that fact. Could it be that Korea lacks oil fields?

[brownsocks]

if iraq nukes anywhere on the east coast of u.s. i am still screwed! The Maratimes or Atlantic Canada are right above there and the jet stream will carry all that radiation poisoning up here:( so where people in the cities that are nuked will instantly be incenerated into nothingness everyone else up here will get cancer and other stuff and we already have the highest bloody cancer rate in north america so we don't need any other outside factors to make it worse I hate bush

[Kay Scarpetta]

To tell you the truth, I'm petrified. I mean... good God. What's going to happen to us? Our country? I'm even more petrified for those poor innocent people in Iraq that our lovely country is going to just go ahead and kill without any remorse...

Which reminds me, one of my friends from CU in Colorado Springs sent me this e-mail today from their college paper, The Onion. It's a satarical publication they distribute on their campus. Enjoy.

WASHINGTON, DC—George W. Bush assured the nation in a televised address Tuesday that "our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is finally over."

"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."

Bush swore to do "everything in [his] power" to undo the damage wrought by Clinton's two terms in office, including selling off the national parks to developers, going into massive debt to develop expensive and impractical weapons technologies, and passing sweeping budget cuts that drive the mentally ill out of hospitals and onto the street.

During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years.

"You better believe we're going to mix it up with somebody at some point during my administration," said Bush, who plans a 250 percent boost in military spending. "Unlike my predecessor, I am fully committed to putting soldiers in battle situations. Otherwise, what is the point of even having a military?"

On the economic side, Bush vowed to bring back economic stagnation by implementing substantial tax cuts, which would lead to a recession, which would necessitate a tax hike, which would lead to a drop in consumer spending, which would lead to layoffs, which would deepen the recession even further.

Wall Street responded strongly to the Bush speech, with the Dow Jones industrial fluctuating wildly before closing at an 18-month low. The NASDAQ composite index, rattled by a gloomy outlook for tech stocks in 2001, also fell sharply, losing 4.4 percent of its total value between 3 p.m. and the closing bell.

Asked for comment about the cooling technology sector, Bush said: "That's hardly my area of expertise."

Turning to the subject of the environment, Bush said he will do whatever it takes to undo the tremendous damage not done by the Clinton Administration to the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. He assured citizens that he will follow through on his campaign promise to open the 1.5 million acre refuge's coastal plain to oil drilling. As a sign of his commitment to bringing about a change in the environment, he pointed to his choice of Gale Norton for Secretary of the Interior. Norton, Bush noted, has "extensive experience" fighting environmental causes, working as a lobbyist for lead-paint manufacturers and as an attorney for loggers and miners, in addition to suing the EPA to overturn clean-air standards.

Bush had equally high praise for Attorney General nominee John Ashcroft, whom he praised as "a tireless champion in the battle to protect a woman's right to give birth."

"Soon, with John Ashcroft's help, we will move out of the Dark Ages and into a more enlightened time when a woman will be free to think long and hard before trying to fight her way past throngs of protesters blocking her entrance to an abortion clinic," Bush said. "We as a nation can look forward to lots and lots of babies."

Continued Bush: "John Ashcroft will be invaluable in healing the terrible wedge President Clinton drove between church and state."

The speech was met with overwhelming approval from Republican leaders.

"Finally, the horrific misrule of the Democrats has been brought to a close," House Majority Leader Dennis Hastert (R-IL) told reporters. "Under Bush, we can all look forward to military aggression, deregulation of dangerous, greedy industries, and the defunding of vital domestic social-service programs upon which millions depend. Mercifully, we can now say goodbye to the awful nightmare that was Clinton's America."

"For years, I tirelessly preached the message that Clinton must be stopped," conservative talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh said. "And yet, in 1996, the American public failed to heed my urgent warnings, re-electing Clinton despite the fact that the nation was prosperous and at peace under his regime. But now, thank God, that's all done with. Once again, we will enjoy mounting debt, jingoism, nuclear paranoia, mass deficit, and a massive military build-up."

An overwhelming 49.9 percent of Americans responded enthusiastically to the Bush speech.

"After eight years of relatively sane fiscal policy under the Democrats, we have reached a point where, just a few weeks ago, President Clinton said that the national debt could be paid off by as early as 2012," Rahway, NJ, machinist and father of three Bud Crandall said. "That's not the kind of world I want my children to grow up in."

"You have no idea what it's like to be black and enfranchised," said Marlon Hastings, one of thousands of Miami-Dade County residents whose votes were not counted in the 2000 presidential election. "George W. Bush understands the pain of enfranchisement, and ever since Election Day, he has fought tirelessly to make sure it never happens to my people again."

Bush concluded his speech on a note of healing and redemption.

"We as a people must stand united, banding together to tear this nation in two," Bush said. "Much work lies ahead of us: The gap between the rich and the poor may be wide, be there's much more widening left to do. We must squander our nation's hard-won budget surplus on tax breaks for the wealthiest 15 percent. And, on the foreign front, we must find an enemy and defeat it."

"The insanity is over," Bush said. "After a long, dark night of peace and stability, the sun is finally rising again over America. We look forward to a bright new dawn not seen since the glory days of my dad."

Just the thought of war scares me to death. One of the boys I graduated with got shipped off to Iraq. I think that our freedom is worth fighting for.
