Default Re: Yup, that\'ll work, fer shure;-)

I agree with what you say, except for for 2 things which put me in anti-war position:

A. I think the cost of the war will likely outweigh its benefits - that includes the fact that I don't trust the US to run Iraq well or fairly post-Saddam, nor to not sell the Kurds and Shias down the river.
B. I don't think what the US and UK is doing is justifiable under international law, and I don't think it's a good idea for international law to just be whatever the great powers say it is. Maybe there should be a law that requires all countries to be democracies and all tyrants to be toppled by force. But there isn't and i don't see that Bush can just pick and choose when he fancies it.
