IRAQ: It's just NOT a civil war, I tell you...

Was it legal? That is what the dispute was all about.

Dispute?!?! Mild words for the enforcement of a northern concept of unity.

I believe the CSA had the legal right to secede. Freely the states entered into the union and freely they should have been allowed to leave. I believe the below write up makes a good argument for how the War of Northern Aggresion was illegal.

Politicians sold states the concept that together they would not fall. As is today, John Q didn't foresee how that concept would be abused.

Come on now, even the most radical Bush supporter cannot compare the success or goal in WW2 to Iraq.

I'm not a 'most radical' but I am a 'Bush supporter'.
Stay the course!
I'm another Regan Republican for Bush.
I'm another Oklahoma Conservative Democrat for Bush.

But I am good at relating things
and IDENTIFYING the most important items.

According to The Norman Transcript,
Wednesday, Nov 29, 2006; page 1:

Dr. Clyde Snow, a Norman forensic antropologist, terstifies
about his work exhuming graves in the Kurdish-lands of Iraq during the
resumed trial of genocide against Kirds in Baghdad,
Iraq, Tuesday. The prosecution says about 180,000
people, mostly civilians, were killed in the campaign against
the Kurds, which was code named Operation Anfal.

These killings happened in 1987-1988.
Dr. Snow identified the type of deaths, including
WMD (weapons of mass destruction, including poison
gas).

Compare to about the 180,000 dead Kurds
killed by Sudam's lackeys to the
30,000 Iraqi killed the first 2 years of the
occupation of Iraq by coalation forces.

When one goes to war, the standard of reference is what is the threat to the United States? So, it follows, was Nazi Germany and Japan a bigger threat to the United States, or was Iraq? One may even ask, is Iran a bigger threat to the United States than Iraq was?

Sorry, but not me, wouldnt have my name on a Democrat roll. Republican from Kentucky presently, that party may change. My votes go back to Nixon, and this is the first republican President that I have thought was a failure. If one goes to war, one must have leadership ability and commn sense.
