Q1 Why do you think that the USA and its allies invaded Iraq without the approval of the United Nations? Oil? Weapons of mass destruction?

I think Mr Bush hates Saddam and wants to get rid of him and his henchmen. If they find chemicals etc that will just be icing on the cake.

Q2 Do you believe that Saddam should be removed forcefully, or should have he been left alone to rule his people?

It appears that he wouldn't have gone without force. I dont think that anyone who murders and tortures people should be left in power.

Q3 Do you think that the Iraqis will be / are happy to get rid of Saddam and his henchmen?

Yes

Q4 Do you think that the USA will find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

no

Q5 Do you think that Australia, America and Britain will be more or less of a terrorist target after the war is finished?

same

Q6 Would you attend an anti war protest?

No...they are too violent

Q7 Do you think that the USA are over doing things with their " Shock and Awe " bombing campaign?

They certainly arent leaving anything to chance. CNN, NBC etc must be loving it.

Q8 After this war is finished, do you think that the USA and its allies will be / should be going for other targets ( eg North Korea)

If the war becomesa cakewalk for the USA I think that other places may be on the agenda for them. If it becomes a slug fest with big casualties then the American public wont let them go anywhere else.

Q9 What do you think will happen to Iraqi oil after the war? Do you believe the USA when it says oil profits will be used for the benefit of Iraq?

yes...it would be political suicide for any other result.

Q10 Do you think that our Prime Minister John Howard is a puppet of the USA?

No. I think he feels that he is doing the wrong thing for the right reason. And I think that he wants the old coalition to stick together.

Q11 Are you impressed with the USA army, its allies, and how they are going about their duty?

Their range of firepower is pretty awesome on all counts...amounts, power and accuracy. From all accounts the Aussies are going about their duty with great panache.

Q12 If you were George Bush and in charge of the most powerful country on earth, what would you have done differently in dealing with this issue?

Very hard to say...but I think I would have stuck by the UN for longer untill all doubt was removed about wether the UN would be effective.

Q13 If you were Saddam Hussein, what would you have done differently in dealing with this issue?

I would have sold millions of barrels of oil, made a stash, and invited my friends around every weekend for a swim and a barbecue.

1. The USA government wants to build an empire. They want to rule the world like the Romans of old.

2. Don't care

3. Some will, some won't

4. Probably

5. More of a target

6. No

7. Don't know

8. This question is contradictory. From what I have seen and heard some of the guys behind Bush want to invade Iran, Syria and Saudi Arabia after Iraq. But whether or not they do this will probably depend on how easy Iraq is. Should they invade other countries? No

9. Some will go to Iraq some to sharemarket companies

10. Not a puppet as such. He just believes the USA is good and great and can do no wrong.

11. Yes

12. Lots should have been done differently. Bush should have made sure that Saddam looked the bad guy. Instead Bush looks the bad guy to many

13. Destroyed all my weapons of mass destruction and/or gone into that nice exile Bush was offering

[masun]

Too lazy to answer all questions but...

Q1 Why do you think that the USA and its allies invaded Iraq without the approval of the United Nations? Oil? Weapons of mass destruction?

The way I see it, Bush and his backers need a war desparately. The US economy has been taking a nosedive. Without the war, the chance of Bush getting re-elected would be rather slilm. As for why Iraq, obviously Iraq is a much easier target than countries like Iran or North Korea.
