I am normally not political at all but the Bush administration is pissing me (and millions of others around the world) off because its intentions and actions are unjust and immoral. CNN reported here that President Bush said, "Tomorrow is the day we determine whether or not diplomacy can work." So he is saying that if he doesn't get his way, diplomacy doesn't work? How democratic is that?

He went on to say, "Many nations have voiced a commitment to peace and security, and now they must demonstrate that commitment in the only effective way, by supporting the immediate and unconditional disarmament of Saddam Hussein." Of course, by "immediate and unconditional disarmament..." he means "authorization for war." So Bush is asking nations to support "peace and security" by authorizing war. Uh, isn't that a bit contradictory?

Bush, tell me this: why is the need to go to war so critically urgent right now if progress to disarm is being made? How are Iraqis an increasing threat with all the UN inspectors in their country and the whole world watching? You say war should be the last resort but clearly this is not how you actually feel.

While I am for the pressure — through the US military build-up in the region — on the Iraqi government to disarm I am against the Bush administration's bullying and aggressive yet unjustified push for war.

And while I hate Saddam because he's a cruel and evil dictator, innocent Iraqi people and millions of others in other Middle Eastern countries (Kuwait, Jordon, Turkey...) shouldn't have to suffer, directly or indirectly, because of an unnecessary war. Indeed, the whole world will suffer because of this war that Bush has been set on starting for some time now. Thousands of innocent civilians will most certainly die. Hundreds of thousands will have their lives ruined in other ways. Is it worth it? Bush does not care. Sadly, no one can stop him.
