I agree with you completely. Clinton has done so much crap, and everybody loves him, but you finally get someone in office who does the right thing, and everyone flips. I guess no one wants to do the right thing anymore...

It still cracks me up that any war could be legal... such a paradox!

Umm... what kind of crap are you reviewers smoking? I've looked at most of these reviews: and my ** lets out more factual knowledge.

In order to attack a nation all the president has to do is order it. Read up on your military history. To declare war you need congress, but in the history of our nation we have only declared war a couple of times. Korea was never declared a war by congress, neither was vietnam. So you can have a defacto war without congress, and thats fully legal. So bite me.

"you must be out of your mind if you support the war and that fascist pig"

Yes, because having opposite beliefs makes a man crazy: the essence of liberal ideology.

you must be out of your mind if you support the war and that fascist pig.

First off, as a soldier who's actually fighting in this war, my dear, you really need to give up. I've never seen such ignorance and arrogance combined in my life-and that's a hotly-contested title.
Secondly, to the ignoramus who asked how someone who went to Yale and Harvard can be stupid, well, that's what the word 'legacy' was invented for. Also? Wow, a war that we were lied to to get into, versus some consensual **. Somebody's got a wonderful perspective.
Given the writer's age, I'll stop there. Let's hope he does the same till maturity gives him some perspective. The reviewers who are dismissing the numbers of dead Iraqis don't have access to the facts. We're killing more of them than are the insurgents. Some just war. When we've killed as many of them as Hussein did, will some of you wake up?

Well, I won't yell and screem at you. Sorry;)
Simply put, you are very wrong about the war in Iraq being legal. Congress never declared war on that country, and the powers given to the President (from the War between the States up through this latest expantion of the Empire) are totally unconstitutinal.
Therefor, this war, the various interventions that we've pulled in hotspots around the world, Vietnam, and Korea were ALL illegal if one still looks to the Constitution of 1787. The last legal war that the United States of America fought was the Second World War.
What ** me off about most of the protesters was/is the fact that they are only protesting the symtome of the problem, not the root. The root, again simply put, is that we've lost the Republican form of government that was given to us by the founders of the United States. The last gasp of that brand of Republican government was that of the Southern States when they excersised their rights of Seccession only to be crushed by the might of the northen states and the government in Washington D.C (aka-the city of evil).
We won't win in Iraq. We don't have the staying power, even consitering the fact that the Iraqi's are not the Vietnamese (who were much better at what they did) the prolific, real-time news casts offer much bloodier late night news broadcasts than thirty years ago. Although the real news now has to come from the internet, not the big production houses.
Uh, this got alittle off track, but one subject leads to another.

i have come to a conclusion that you are either playing around with these essays of yours as i dont believe anyone could be as narrow-minded and as blind as you are...
there is also the alternate conclusino that you are an ignorant 12 year old boy who listens to everything that his/her parent says without question...
i thought ppl like you would have learnt from past mistakes...
i am actually suprised that you havent written an essay about how grand the cult K is...and how much good they are doing to society..."american" society

I'm not going to do any raving cause i'm sure plenty of ppl have already done that. I live in england and blair doesn't know the ** his sayin that is way we ended up in war, only about 12% agreed with war. It's quite sick how u take pleasure on seeing others gettin killed so long as it's not the american.
Bush should be burnt in hell long with blair and you should get a life and stop all this hatred you have. did saddam do anything 2 u or ur failies? NO! so i suggest you open your eyes and smell the burning ashes of the civilians your GOVERNMENT or what ever you call them killed.
i'm pointing out my view just like u r so chill out and have fun ;)

I must say that you have good spirit, even if you don't know what you are talking about. I know I will never convince you but I will try, where do you get the idea that the world supports your war? I am Canadian and have an outside view of this and I must say that you are dead wrong. Who supported the war England, Tony Blair is already in deep ** because only 12% or so of the English support the war, and Austrailia, where god bless the man a parlemntarian booed Bush. The other thing that scares me is the fact that you don't know just how many laws you are breaking, because you are who you don't look beyond your own borders, at the international laws you broke. You didn't declare war(formaly), you broke treaties and you went to war with no reason at all (by the way: (I dont know if you heard but) weapons of mass destruction didn't exist AND that Al-cada thing was a lie, there was no Bin-Ladin connection to Iraq. Belive me or not, hopefuly beleive, but these are the facts. I hope you'll get over your ignorance soon.( no offence)

**Shakes head** The matter of this war is too complex. I agree with the reviews I looked over, at leats in part. The war nessicary? maybe not. Illegal, no possible way. Saddam needing to be gone? Definate. And for those who use American casualties as a weapon against this war, let's look at both sides of that issue. Using number of deaths on either side as a condition for who is "winning" this war, Iraq as many times the casualties America does. Now I will agree this is a tactless point, but will also interject that it is a valid one.

Kid you don't know what you are talking about. Are you aware that there is in fact a set of internationally recognised philosophical principles used for determining the legitimacy of going to and being in war? These are:
•Jus ad Bellum (Justice of going to war)
1–having just cause
2–being declared by a proper authority
3–possessing right intention
4–having a reasonable chance of success
5–the end being proportional to the means used.
•Jus in Bello (Justice of actions within war)
1–losses and destruction being proportional to end
2–discrimination of targets
A war is illigitimate if it fails the above test. A just war requires all of the above. This isn't my opinion, this is simply the philosophical test developed over centuries.
As far as Jus ad Bellum is concerned, 1-3 are suspect. Jus in Bello, 2 fails.
Thus, there is a legitimate argument that the war is illegal.

How is it that people can call a man who went to Yale and Harvard stupid? And the leader of our nation, still. People need to learn that war is something will occur and has always occurred throughout history. It is something that must happen for humanity to continue. There are very few Iraquis killed, and from talking with a soldier who just returned from his tour(service time in the war) in Iraq, those people want us there. There was a woman and child who passed out flowers...people thanked them by the hundreds...the media simply doesn't state it. The Islamic leaders want us out...the Iraqi officials want us out. We only get half the story from the media? Unbiased news? ha.

And to those of you who think we shouldn't be in the war...You say this man is immoral when Clinton had an affair? Christians especially because every 'sin' is the same in the eyes of God. Besides...he is fighting a war with terrorists and countries who harbor them. This includes Iraq.

The President has US federal law on his side, but does that prove that he's in the right?
Personally, I'm glad to see Saddam gone but I'm very worried by the preccedent set by the US government ignoring the UN and the objections of numerous other countries and doing whatever they feel like, and to hell with the rest of the world.

I agree with you completely. I don't think the war is illegal. But, i also wish everything could have been resolved without the need for war. I hope the war is over soon, especially now that my brother is going over to Iraq in less than a week. But i also believe that sometimes war is necessary. ok, that's all i have to say, good day.
