Their weren't WMD's, and we were lied to. However, Saddam did commit acts of genocide. Is it right for that to go on? No....Originally posted by frostydf2+May 3 2006, 05:05 AM--></div><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td>QUOTE (frostydf2 @ May 3 2006, 05:05 AM)</td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Originally posted by HJ-Diviana@May 2 2006, 10:46 PM

the fact is... i don't want to waste my time watching a video about 9/11 that just wants to point fingers. i think what ive gathered after september 11, is that we were attacked. that was the eye opener to me. i think we have been fortunate to not have an attack on the contiguous 48 for like 200 years. but to want to point fingers on who was really at fault, is just a BIG FAT WASTE OF TIME. just like a 1:21:50 video trying to recap/spin a lot of stuff ive seen in the recapped/spun news.
and oswald did shoot jfk. but was he alone????????
So we were attacked, and we turned around and did the exact same thing to Iraq.
What did they do to us?
However, lets say the entire Iraqi war was about oil. Ok, what's the big deal? "So all of the big corporations can do their corporation thing, and get lotsa money." Sorry buddy, but this economy is FUELD by oil. I'd fight for it.
If you're going to complain about the war in Iraq. Then you better be able to shut your mouth about rising gas prices. It is supply, and demand. Granted I dislike it, but a barrel of oil is $72~. If you're ok with spending $5, $6, maybe even $8-$9 at the gas pump for a gallon, then go ahead and rant all you want about how we're in Iraq for oil, and how we're going to drill in Alaska. Why you're at it, say that Iran has nuclear capabilities, and us disabling them is an excuse to go in, and take their oil. Because you're right, it is. [/b][/quote]
You do know that the government has known for years that we needed to find an alternate fuel source.
And that BMW currently has a prototype car that runs on hydrogen, which comes from water, and the only emissions are water. (Besides the fact that global dimming and global warming will cause all the glaciers and ice caps to melt, using all the water we can is probably a good idea)
Bush is "looking" for new fuel sources, but he isn't really doing anything at all.
If you do a google search for saddam genocide, the links that come up are saying that it's hard to prove. That's not why we went there however. We went there under FALSE pretenses, pretending that we were there to "get the terrorists" who had not been there (however they are now, good job guys!), we sacrificed lives of our soldiers and their people for oil?! Please tell me you do not think that is a sane thing to do. So we can run our little cars in our excessively fat country. What people really need, is to walk that few miles to work, and if they live farther away, use public transportation, or maybe people could get hybrid cars. You know, America is the fattest country in the world, and Texas is the fattest state? No wonder Bush thinks we "need" oil so bad.
By the way, did anyone see Stephen Colbert at the White House Correspondents Dinner? I watched a copy of it last night, and it was hilarious. I can't believe he said those things to the president's FACE. Bush was red faced and I bet he was quite angry afterward. News article
I am going to go on a rant now about global dimming. I doubt most of you have heard of it, but everyone knows what global warming is right?
So global dimming is actually blocking out the sun from hitting the earth, around 10-15% in the US and other countries around the world, and as much as 30% in Russia.
That would mean global warming is fake right? No way! Global warming is actually currently being held back by global dimming.
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gasses, they warm the earth by making the suns rays more intense. Global dimming is caused by pollution. That is, little particles of soot and dust caught in the clouds, keeping them from becoming raindrops and clearing the sky.
We are currently cutting down on pollution, but not on greenhouse gasses. What this means, is that in ten years or so, when all there are all kinds of pollution regulations, that the Earth's temperature will raise by as much as 18 degrees! That is absolutely insane. It could be slowed if we stopped producing greenhouse gasses, but that is currently not happening.
I wouldn't expect to see snow when you're 80. If we even live to that. (I'm not quite sure if we'll still go into an iceage, or perhaps even a snowball effect.. The snowball would completely wipe out life I think though.)
