America have an annoying President, and a very big army.
England have an annoying Prime Minister and a very big army.
Iraq have some very dangerous weapons.
They seem even enough for this to escalate to much more.
If it's a war, I have 14 serious illnesses, I'm allergic to Clothing and I'm a very tall 4-year old.

A fair point.
My comment about being hypocritical is directed towards the vehement "We must fight to stop this evil tyrant".
If you feel that strongly, then sign up today and join the army. Do your bit for your beliefs.
Otherwise it's rhetoric and opinion.

Your grandfather and mine may have fought in a war for us, but they probably didn't give their lives for us. The people who did give their lives for us are not likely to have any decendents.
Unless you have faith in a God and/or some sort of afterlife(mine seems to have gone puff) or decendents, then your life is everything. In purely biological terms we live to reproduce, so if we haven;t done that yet then our main objective should be to stay alive long enough to reproduce.
I'm really scared of dying, I never was when I had my faith, Its easy for people to say "my grandfather fought in a war for you".
People who have lost reatives in Conflicts would probably not be so quick in saying fight for your country. And this conflict is not even really about our country.
I'm not saying that it isn't a war that should be fought, I'm saying I'm too scared of dying to fight it myself. I hope that doesn't make me a hypocrite.

"But Pa, public opinion dwindled when we started dropping cluster-bombs in civilian areas in Afghanistan. We dropped food as well, but people started to question our effectiveness and lack of ground troops"
"Well son...ah...Hussein, he's a bad bad man"
"Sure is Daddy, why didn't you finish it last time tho, being as he's such an evil man and all?"

Now THIS is a stupid argument I'm sick of hearing. The world has developed beyond the days of Kingdoms and religious cleansing. It's all about freedom. We don't invade and take over countries for fun and glory any more. Stopping other people from trying to invade other countries would only be hypocritical if we were still doing it.
We don't though, do we?

"Daddy - now I'm the presy wesy is there anything you want me do ?"

" Sure thing daddy - I'll send the troops in as soon as I can "
" That's my boy ! "

Ssshh, you'll be labelled "Liberal/Communist/Al Queda"
Hussein is a Hitler and stuff, that's why we're going in.
11 years after we stopped, because he's that monstrous we just went home when he said "Sorry!"
