Do you think Saddam would have woke up one day and decided to be a good leader and give money back to his people, stop trading arms for oil from other Middle East countries, building up his arsenal, torturing and raping his own people? I don't think so.
We have war because it is a necessity of human life. We make do with what we have because without our armed forces, our country would be an easy target for dictators and tyrants whose narrow minded view of the world makes them think their race and religion should be the ultimate influence in the rest of the world. Our soldiers not only protect our country from these evil doers, but they protect the very essence of every right you hold as a U.S. citizen. If you feel you can still have these rights without the influence of our military, you have a very narrow minded view of not only our society, but the societies of who we are at war with.
I do not agree that the atrocities by U.S. soldiers is in any way justifiable, but to group all military personnel into one, as you put it, "whether they are gentle or not, they are murderers", shows a limited knowledge of what our country would be like without
them.

You have got to be kidding me. First of all, Saddam was not a threat to the US at all. Bush is just trying to finish what his daddy could not. What on Earth did Saddam have to do with Sep 11 to begin with - absolutely nothing.
By your logic, it would have been OK for Saddam to attack America because he thinks Bush is evil and he doesnt like him, but if that happened you would have a totally different view on everything.
And what about this "arsenal" you are talking about, is this the same arsenal that we did not find, but were sure he had?
As for the so called war on terror, it will never be stopped, no matter how many wars you have, no matter how many people you eliminate, terrorism will not be stopped, you will always have nut jobs blowing themselves up. Besides, what right of Americas is it to go around to other countries and do whatever they please. Bush is no less of a evil dictator than Saddam was, they are both murderers who hopefully will be punished for what they have done.
As for your comment about the war being a necissity of human life, it is not even worth responding to as you and most everyone else on this board with the exeption of a few have been brainwashed by the American Govt.
