WIR, I couldn't have NOT said it better myself! Political discussions belong in political forums. We all enjoy something in common, wetlook, so let's stick to that.

I don't think we should talk about such things things here really, as any discussions could well cause bitter divisions that it would be better not to create in this community, but I broadly agree with you and greatly admire Ray and Julie for the stance they have taken.

Wet Free Spirit

I just noticed that Ray & Julie have closed Wet Free Spirit. The home page now contains some remarks on the war with Iraq. I, for one, look forward to the return of Wet Free Spirit.

The balance of this post may be going off-topic for the forum, but I do have an opinion.

It is obvious that the American action in Iraq is controversial and the legitimacy of the action is questionable. I don't question the underlying motives... Saddam is not acting in the interests Iraq, his only interest seems to be himself. I have no doubt that an innocent population is being brutalized at his whim. His posession of weapons of mass destruction make him a threat to peace and stability in the middle east, but it isn't a direct threat to the US. When America fought the Gulf War, they had a legitimate reason to be there - to come to the aid of an invaded nation (Kuwait). At this time, the only nation which has been invaded is Iraq. America's foreign policy is now on a slippery slope. If a sovereign nation can be subject to a regime change through the use of military force - as the American-led "coalition" is now doing, what next? Until he actually commits another act of aggression against another sovereign nation, isn't Saddam's actions within his own country an internal affair? Dictators ruling through fear have been overthrown by revolution before. Surely the Iraqi people would eventually say "enough is enough" and turn on him without any intervention from the outside.

It is indeed a scary image to see the leader of a country brandishing a rifle and shooting it in the air... hardly a demonstration of civilized behaviour. But an American-led invasion to depose such a person? Something is seriously wrong here.

Now that it's started, I hope the Americans are able to see it through and finish what they've started. I hope it all ends quickly with minimal casuality (on all sides). However, I really believe they shouldn't have crossed that line in the first place.
