I was just wondering, when, exactly, did Iraq attack the United States, so that we have justification for attacking it? I must have missed that bit of news.

Why would we want to overlook their bashing of Bush? No president has done more to expand government since LBJ. No president has done worse by free trade since Hoover.
"Wrong. This was an entirely appropriate use of police authority. Follow the rules & for goodness sakes don't give airplane crews a hard time. He did this going into Salt Lake, too. Inexcusable." Should anyone have the least doubt that the American people are gradually becoming adjusted to living in a police state, just read the above post a few times.
Isn't it funny that the same people who said we had to fight Iraq to save Saudi Arabia a few years ago now say we have to attack it. Ever wonder what changed their minds? http://www.antiwar.com/justin/justincol.html

"I'll drive my ratteling, Made in USA Dodge into the ground before I even accept a ride a Japanese import and tell the 2,403 men at the bottom of Pearl Harbor it wasn't a terrorist attack." Not only wasn't it a terrorist attack, it wasn't even a _surprise_ attack. Perhaps Roosevelt didn't know the attack was coming at Pearl Harbor, but he knew that the US oil, steel, and rubber embargoes, _acts of war_ on the part of the US against Japan, had pushed Japan into a corner, and that they would attack the Western allies somewhere. The American government didn't suddenly realize it had to fight Japan after Pearl Harbor; it was already at war, and just hadn't told the American people.
Majoring in economics in most American universities makes one _less_, not _more_, qualified to speak on it. Subsidies? Who cares? A country cannot subsidize its way to wealth! If they are subsidizing the auto makers, they are simply paying for part of my excellent Nissan.
Hey, didn't the US put al Qaeda in Afghanistan? Didn't we have a symbiotic relationship with them? Therefore, the US military should attack... oh, never mind.
I haven't spent very much time on FR, but it's interesting to see that the main form of argumentation seems to be name-calling. Are most of the posters in middle school?
