bn880 5 Posted February 13, 2003 Really good slogans, but I'm having trouble getting info on the protest in Ottawa.... I imagine it will simply be infront of the Parliament buildings or the U.S. embassy. Might be extremely cold. Best thing to do might be to head to Toronto, unfortunately I can't this weekend because of guests. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OxPecker 0 Posted February 14, 2003 A pro-war rally would be somewhat redundant, it seems pretty certain that the Bush administration intend to go ahead with the Iraq attack with or without UN approval. ----- Without being a smartass, can I ask you guys honestly if you feel your lives or your country is actually in danger if the US doesn't attack Iraq, and if so, what do you base this on?

I think Saddam does have weapons of mass destruction, and he is either going to use them on one of our allies or assets, or hand them to a terrorist and have them attack our civilians.

C/B weapons can also be traced to what manufacture group they are from. So any Saddam weapon can quite easily, and with all probability, be traced back to him.

That is the argument put forth by people who consider Saddam to be a rational thinker. However, his actions generally seem to point in the opposite direction. So basically, the questions comes down to this: Is deterrence effective against a man who might have a few screws loose? When this is all over, I got to say I'm gonna miss the rascal. Firing rifles at ceremonies, addressing his 'Parliament', gassing his minions, and who can forget the state-organized US protests and the distribution of AK47s to everyone and their cousins?

Longinius 1 Posted February 14, 2003 "And if he's developing weapons he plans on using them, or giving them to someone. He simply doesn't need them to defend himself." So, the rest of us should be afraid America should attack us then? Since they have WMD's after all, and have used them before.
