You still didn't outline the advantage war has over with peace.

Perhaps my difficulties lie in my mistrust of Bush's motives, my distrust of his economics, and this feeling I have that Bush is on a witch-hunt and is determined to war with Iraq no matter what.

Perhaps if you could answer a few questions:

1) What is the advantage war has over a diplomatic and economic peace?

2) What would the end objective of war be? (i.e. Will we establish the new government for them? Will we just help them rebuild and recreate a new monster? Will we just cause a bunch of noise, kill a bunch of people, but really change very little? We warred with them once - will another one make a difference?)

3) Why is Bush making it sound like a religious crusade?

4) Why didn't we conquer them or oust Saddam from power the first time we went to war with them?

5) Why aren't the other major powers (Germany, France, Spain, Mexico, Canada, etc) willing to send hordes of troops to help us destroy Iraq?

6) Why not just assassinate Saddam and his advisors?
