Saddam was never a threat to America. And we pulled so many troops from Afghanistan (where the real threat was) to take Iraq, that now the Taliban and Al-Quaeda (our actual enemies) have been able to regroup.

Great move, U.S. :rolleyes

I hear a lot of rumbling that if Bush is reelected, he'll institute a draft. Not enough people in the military to hold Iraq...

Not that I'm afraid, the Marines turned me away because of my asthma... ;)

Oh, definitely.

On the pentagon's web site there was an ad seeking "men and women in the community who might be willing to serve as members of a local draft board."

When everyone panicked, it was quickly removed from the site.

Well, draft boards have been around for a while. I’ve heard that some have been told to ‘be ready’, and others have had inspections and stuff, getting into shape...

A draft, though, could be a good thing if you think about it.

I can't be drafted, I'm too top heavy.

They make you loose weight. Usually by making you do physical exercise all day.

The day I get drafted is the day Canada starts a draft. And that isn't going to happen unless America attacks us. If any one else does, we can just get America to kick their ass.

<blockquote><strong><em>Quote:</em></strong><hr>American is perfect. We do what is best for the world, Is Africa going to attack America? no. Saddam was so we took his regime out and him, and now were helping those Iraqis out. They think they can work everything out on their own, absolutely not; their all corrupt IMO.<hr></blockquote>

Helping them by destroying their water and power, killing their people, and destroying their history, right? Hey, if someone did that in America, you guys would pat them on the back and thank them for all their help, right?

Oh. Wait.

No, Saddam wasn't a good guy. But he was hardly stupid, and hardly in any position to "attack America". How many weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq, again?

Oh, right. None.

And how many Coalition troops have been killed and wounded? How many civilians? How many billions of dollars have been spent?

Did you know that with the $87 billion Bush want for Iraq, two million new teachers could have been hired?

Oh, yes. America is perfect.

Tell that to the people they've killed.

destroying their water and power


Water and power is already back and are said to be better than before, schools are opening already...

It's not all grim and dirty.
