Poor Andrew. He doesn't realize that Saddam had been stopped in Kuwait,
and was faced with a united world in the sanctions. I thought Bush had
the right idea for a little while, because I thought that he had
probably worked out a deal with SH. I still think sanctions are a pretty
good idea. However, when we first went over, and then when we started to
make the war noises, I was pretty sure that Bush was going to war.
Gusess what? He did. He ordered the start of the bombing. He ordered the
war to start. I'm not proud of Bush. I'm against Bush, and I am against
SH.

I have the same answer most anti-war people probably have. That is
'settle your differences through negotiations, and don't support
god-damned dictators in your foreign policy.' Andrew's answer, for now
becassuse he doesn't know any better, is 'kill...kill...kill.' I prefer
mine.
