How many Americans were killed by Saddam's forces in the past decade? 1? 2?

Your argument holds no water and is embarrasing to read. Iraq is less of a threat to a citizen of this nation than most other nations, specifically because of the 12 years of sanctions and 'No-Fly' Zones. To assert that 'our asses would have been blown away by now' if our military wasn't in Iraq is disingenuous in the extreme. How many Iraqi's were on the 9/11 planes? Oh, right, Zero.

Our military is conducting an illegal invasion to satisfy the neo-con hawks who are running this nation into the ground for Cold War Goals that never got fulfilled. Watch as our economy crumbles and Americans around the world suffer the backlash, watch as the entire muslim world, moderates, zealots and secularists alike stand against America for the injustices done to their Iraqi brethern. What will that do to our markets? What will that do to our industy? What will that do to the terrorist threat level in this nation?

This website is just another example of the neo-mccarthyism currently gripping this nation. I love this country, I've been around the world and this is the only nation I have ever chosen to call home, but to suggest that I leave because I disagree with the president is offensive. I didn't ask the GOP to leave when they didn't like the results of Clinton's Impeachment. I didn't ask conservatives to leave during their objections to NATO's bombing of Serbia.

I am embarrased of my president and I am embarrased by my fellow countrymen who would create such a website. This is not the America I was born in.
