Case for war
I wouldn't deem this to be an excellent article by any means, it simply doesn't give all the detail that an excellent one would (but then again - who could?). It doesnt just outline a case for war, but it is actually said with an anti-americam slant. I hope this helps some of the many idiots who protest war without any understanding of what they are really saying (including many "human shields" who seem to think not just that iraqi civillians will be hurt, but they are actually the targets??? I know not all shields think this way). It really is quite difficult to put into words my disgust for the majority of anti-war protestors, and yet my respect for many of the others. http://bulletin.ninemsn.com.au/bulletin/EdDesk.nsf/All/B298B433C42175FCCA256CEB0082A529

The last point is perhaps the most crucial one. Being pro-American should not be a political liability for our allies. The diplomatic fiasco over Turkey is an excellent example. For well over a year now it has been obvious to anyone watching that the Turkish people were deeply opposed to a war in Iraq. Yet the administration assumed that it could bully or bribe Turkey into giving it basing rights. But Turkey over the last year has become more democratic. The military is less willing to overrule politicians. The new ruling party, AK, is more open to internal debate than Turkey's other parties. It allowed its members to vote freely on the motion to allow America basing rights, only to have it defeated. Since more than 90 percent of the Turks oppose giving America basing rights, this should not have been surprising. The administration wants democracy in the Middle East. Well, it got it.
