[R.B. Norton]

Buried among all the media-hyped war mongering was a huge victory for
the environment...

Subject: RE: [Powderworks] War has begun!

George Dumya said something in his speech the other night that really 
disturbed me...that once Hussein is toppled, the threat of terrorism
will 
diminish greatly.  How does he figure this?  I think it will increase 
terrorism, make other countries hate us and peg us as war-mongers, and 
alienate us more than we already have been.  It started with the Kyoto 
treaty and now this!  I am so ashamed of our government.  Even though I
did 
not vote for Dumya, he still runs the country for which I am a part of.
I 
hate it!  I just hope this "war" ends and fast.  I hope Iraq can recover
and 
become a free nation.  I hope the US can recover.  I hope the
environment 
can recover.

My other fear is that even if we "win" (and I use that term very
loosely), 
how are we going to help rebuild Iraq?  If it's anything like what we
didn't 
do in Afghanistan, Iraq will grow another Hussein.

PS: I am very surprised Australia entered the war!  What were the
reasons?
