Hitler(Germany) Hussein(Iraq)

Sometimes people also seem to forget that the Iraqi's are not the evil one's and that Saddam, Uday, and Qusay are. The sad thing is that this administation has used the exuse that because Saddam has dangerous weapons and is a dangerous man that he should be removed from power. When in fact all they really need to say to sway the public opinion is that he is a murdering genocidal maniac, which no one can dispute. So the point is, that if you have a problem and don't know how to handle it, then don't create problems for yourself while trying to solve that problem in the first place. What I mean by that is that the world and it's people have certain rights. Some of those rights are simply the simple fact that when one has a right to something in life than another should not be unable to obtain such right as the other has. What I mean is that, we can't tell the world or even Saddam he isn't worthy of having the technology that we have in missles and weapons of mass destruction. No one country or person is entitled to that horrible weapon than the other. So when you say that those weapons all need to be destroyed, including ours, you are right. The only problem is that we plan on keeping them while the rest of the world is outcasted by this country whenever they seek to counter the United States in anyway, especially with weapons systems. The real problem is that the world is aware of this effort, and refuses to give the rights and gratification to the United States and it's war-mongering, holier than thou stance on diplomacy and international relations. When will the madness stop??? When the gun rule is dead. You See????????

After the Wilhelm II's Germany was defeated in the WW1 in 1918, Germany was given approximately 12-14 years to re-build its weapons of mass destruction. Hitler then entered power, going from Chancellor to The Fuehrer after the death of Hindenburg. The rest is history.
After Iraq was defeated in GW1 (Gulf War 1), Iraq was given approximately 10-12 years to re-build its weapons of mass destruction.
Hussein entered power in the 1970's, he's has been around much longer than Hitler was.
Lets not repeat History and let this tyrant loose again. Lets finish this off once and for all.
No doubt that North Korea must be next. They must be disarmed.

I agree!!! There is no place in this world for dictators and agresors.

Originally posted by Thomas Crowne I'm sure you are aware that when we are in a state of national emergency such as war or martial law, the constitution does not hinder actions necessary for the survival of this nation.

In case you haven't noticed, the US has been in a "technical" State of Emergency (wartime or peacetime, doesn't matter...The "Emergency" has been constant) for over 50 years & running...So of course that's the excuse that they've been using for slowly degrading the Constitution for so long *and have been getting away with it*! By constantly keeping this nation in an "Emergency State" they've been able to "justify" the grab for more power over the People & the Constitution that *defined* this country at the start. This is nothing more than a blatent *abuse* of the Emergency Powers granted by the Constitution...And they're using it to *abuse* the Constitution itself, the nation's Citizens, the very land, the economy & future of us all. There is nothing in the Constitution itself that gives any kind of power to the government to abuse the Constitution itself...And that's *exactly* what they've been doing!

The current Administration, and nearly all of them over the past decades, have had little concern for The People, their *employers*, us! They've only wanted to grab what they can, no matter what the party affiliation, no matter how much they've *appeared* to reduce segregation, racism, political bi-partisanship, they've only been interested in what they could get out of us...

...Five decades of constant Emergency is too long...Hell, I haven't even been *alive* at any time there was no "State of Emergency" & I'm willing to bet the few (if any) posters at this board are any different from that.

The real American Emergency now is to get this out-of-control government back into the hands of where is should have always been...The People. This is why anyone who supports the current governmental *system* is not a real patriot & is not upholding his/her responsibilities & duties as a Citizen of the United States. The true Patriot's duty is to the Nation itself, not the government that abuses it.
