<< watching a war on tv (even writing this sentence sounds crazy...what a strange world we live in) has little to do with the realities of war... i think if anyone really wants to understand war, it is essential to listen to those who fought...here is a place to start http://www.veteransforcommonsense.org/ >> There are some pictures in the Guardian today that show just how clean the last gulf war was. Anyone who chooses to believe that we can bomb a country and magically remove the people who run it with minimal "collateral damage" is naive at best. The bombs will incinerate people, destroy communities, maim and torture, make widows, widowers and orphans, multiply the misery of the Iraqi people, make even more people hate the USA and everything it does and stands for and disregard any good it may do. It will do NOTHING to curb terrorism, absolutely zero. It will have the opposite effect. These dubious claims of a terrorist threat will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. I am sickened by what is happening. And I know this is my opinion, not "the truth." Those who are in favour of war, just remember that the same applies to you, and for Christ's sake stop telling us you're only going on "the facts". That's just a lie. Azeem in London
