Do you think the US should go into Iraq?

Personally I don't really think the US should go to a war right now. I dunno what other countries think of this, but i know Turkey doesn't want to get involved really because its gonna screw up their economy worse than it is now. In the last Gulf War they lost $40B because their economic ties with Iraq were screwed up. But if the US promises not to allow the Iraqi Kurds to have a Kurdish state (because the Turks don't want the Turkish Kurds to want their own state and rebel against the Turkish Government) and if the US releaved turkey of some great military debts, then Turkey will help the US in this war.

But i think that this war is gonna get rid of what stabililty is left in this region. I think they should try other ways of solving problems instead of having a war.

What do u think?

any bloody dictator that helps protect foreign capital, which includes corporate investment, is welcomed by our state. that is why saddam was once a friendly despot (iran-iraq war) and now he's been demonized for threatening "our" oil supply (gulf war and further).

lets face it, he had no connection with september 11 and there is no evidence that he is making anything. only speculation.

now think of this, if he has weapons, wouldn't it be better to not invade or he might just use them against us.

the whole fucking world is against this, and such a move will further mass destabalize the middle east for a very long time.

When ancient Rome was near defeat,
the invincible Tenth Legion was raised:
they beat the barbarians on the battlefield
and Rome gained peace with honour again.
When the traitor, on September the eighth,
left the fatherland in infamy,
the Tenth Flotilla was raised from the sea
and it brought weapons at the cry for honour!

Oh our Tenth Flotilla,
you that mocked England,
you victorious on Alexandria,
Malta, Souda and Gibraltar,
you already victorious upon the sea,
now even on the dry land
you will win!

To you Italian ships, stolen from us
not in battle but by treason,
and to you, our prisoners and dead brothers,
we swear:
we swear that we'll came back,
let this be God's and the Flag's will.
We swear that we'll fight
until we obtain an honourable peace!
