| drgandalf 3/19/2003 08:00:48 [ report this post ] | Salma Message: As you probably know, I am staunchly opposed to the illegitimate war against Iraq. Yet, I ask you to reconsider the wisdom of your boycotting gameknot. The site owner and manager has not taken sides on this issue. Boycotting gameknot is like boycotting Europe, since most Americans have Europeans ancestors. Your best strategy is to stay on gameknot and participate in the political discussions. For example, many Americans are unaware that Bush's pre-emptive strike against a peaceful Arab state will galvanise Arab and Muslim opposition to America. This catastophe needs to be explained by Syrians, such as you. Your viligance on this discussion forum and your active particpation will have untold benefits for your side of the issue. Please tell us why you oppose this war, and why you are frustrated by the Bush and Blair administrations. |

| macheide 3/19/2003 08:49:29 [ report this post ] | salma Message: Dear friend, It is a basic principle of Logic that mayorities don�t have necessary the reason. Here is an example to refute the contrary: 1. The bast mayority of Japaneses practice religion X, ergo religion X is true 2. The bast mayority of Mexicans practice religion Y, ergo religion Y is true 3. Religion X and Religion Y are mutualy contradictory, ergo religion X is false or religion Y is false or both of them are false. 4. Any of this conclusions, refutes the statement that being mayority is a suficient condition to posses the truth. I beg you not to leave GK, we are here to play chess, it is normal that among so much people there are many different oppinions about all sorts of things, but that�s innevitable wherever you go. Yours truly, macheide. |
| getoutofhere 3/19/2003 09:12:56 [ report this post ] | read the fine print Message: This from the gallup/CNN poll site As has been the case throughout recent months, support for military action against Iraq is contingent on what happens in the United Nations, as evidenced by the following results from the weekend poll: * Seventy-eight percent of Americans say they would favor invading Iraq if the United Nations passes a new resolution that sets specific conditions for Iraq to disarm, and just 19% would be opposed under these circumstances. * If such a resolution were submitted, but the United Nations rejected it, 54% of Americans would favor military action and 43% would oppose it. * If the United States decides not to offer any new resolutions on Iraq and goes forward with military action without a new U.N. vote at all, half of Americans would oppose an invasion of Iraq, while 47% would be in favor. www.gallup.com/poll/releases/pr030317.asp So, under current circumstances, it certainly isn't clear that the majority of americans support this war. |
| macheide 3/19/2003 09:34:58 [ report this post ] | getoutofthere Message: Dear friend, You are correct. I recive The Gallup Bulletin daily and that�s exactly what american people think in this moments. A very precise piece of information. Regards, macheide. |
| newjack 3/19/2003 10:05:00 [ report this post ] | Talk Message: we all sit behind our computers and make judgements. All I ask is for an answer,what should we do. Nothing and let things get worst, S.H. does have a son that is even worst them him right. We all seem to have the right answers,what are they. For all the people who want to bash the US boycott us don't sell us anything, don't buy anything for us, don't trade with us at all. Yes this would hurt us but we can make do. That also means all the aid and BILLIONS AND BILLIONS of dollars that we give away so the rest of the World will be good doesn't get sent. Will someone against this War(believe it or not everyone is against war),tell me how this should be handled. Worst part is some people are hoping the US has a hard time with this so they put it in their face. Once we win we will be able to go through the whole country and find anything that was missed. Already hearing that weapons that S.H. didn't have are being used as a threat. You cann't use them if you don't have them. Thats all for now. |

With the exception of gatsby,(who happens to have 27 other names on GN from his computer) and a few others these people are really showing the heart that TRUE Americans have. Maybe I can tweak a nerve that will keep you here: IF YOU LEAVE YOU ARE NO BETTER THEN BUSH!!! By that I am saying when communication stops war is all thats left. THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO EVERY STORY! This is a bipolar dimention we live in and NOTHING can exist without EVERYTHING. Stick around and enlighten us as to the thoughts, feelings, history, ect. ect. of your people and neighbors there in the middle east. |
| stuka 3/19/2003 10:41:12 [ report this post ] | A question Message: "Bush's pre-emptive strike against a peaceful Arab state"? OK, there are those that are opposed to unilateral (or indeed any) U.S. action against Iraq, but I'd like to know who really believes that Iraq is a PEACEFUL state. I also wonder why Muslims think this war is anti-Muslim, since Iraq is by all standards a secular state. Saddam Hussein has used weapons of mass destruction more than once, abuses his own people, on more than one occassion has launched wars of aggression, and has known links with terrorist organizations. I have nothing against the Iraqi people, and I find it lamentable that the major casualties of this war will be average Iraqi citizens. However, unless a sane, reasonable government takes over Iraq, I don't see a better alternative to removing Hussein and his family (and friends, I might add) by force. |

The problum lies with the way that bush has handled this and that there are more options with handleing him now..well..six months ago, then in the last twenty some years. The suffering and loss of life is what is at issue and a few months ago I could have given many suggestions as to how to deal with him but it is simply a moog point now. i'm a nobody so if I had some good ideas certainly our elected representitives should have come up with something. |

| kingofpawns 3/19/2003 11:14:38 [ report this post ] | A couple of points Message: 1. The war in Iraq will not likely last long. Iraq is very weak militarily. The US is counting on scaring the Iraqi military into surrendering, which will likely work. Paradoxically, if Iraq is so weak, why the rush to war other than waiting is incontinent for the US? 2. The long-term concerns are the implication of the Bush doctrine for a new world order, where the US is the lone hyper-power (we have gone beyond super power). Iran, N. Korea, Syria are likely next targets. We Americans need to think long on whether this is what we want. The rest of the world has to worry about whether absolute power tends to corrupt absolutely. |

| drgandalf 3/19/2003 12:24:01 [ report this post ] | Peaceful nation Message: Iraq has been a peaceful nation since the end of Gulf War I. Iraq has not invaded any other country since that time. I realize many will disagree with my portayal of Iraq as peaceful. However, according to international law, Iraq IS in fact peaceful. The damage coming from Gulf War II is precisely the aggression of USA and UK against a peaceful nation. There are serious internation law questions. More importantly, the US position is a radical departure from its past. This radicalism permits ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER against any country whatsoever for any or no reason. It is a defining moment, claiming that might makes right. Civilized responses, through international consent, is now optional, rather than required. THIS is the main casualty of the Bush-Blair policy. |
