what if we lose the war with iraq?
i watch the news and all commentators act as if our winning is a given.
yes, we are the biggest, baddest nation; we have the nukes, but what if?
Navigator: >Controlling the oil would effectively give him control of the world's economies. Do you really want a madman to have that kind of power?...<
If you`d like to preserve the world from such a danger, you had to occupy essential parts of the world. Not only Iraq. Nobody is recently in the position to do so. No UN, no United States.

Hello.
"Safe" ?.... SECURITY for a high price - if necessary, probably under extinction of the whole world ?
Thats exactly that what the bible has meant when it told: "Whenever it is that they are saying: >Peace and security< then sudden destruction is to be instantly upon them...."
There will NEVER be peace and security without a righteous world order. Tell Mr. Bush, that he at first should make efforts to eliminate hunger, diseases and misery all around the world. Misery is not necessary now at all because we have the technology to eliminate that. But they are going on to establish and strengthen the turbo-capitalistic economy system on every place in the world. Because NewEconomy collapsed (though they had staked on it with all their money!) they now are standing NAKED in the RAIN, and as a result, they have to confiscate the oil in the arabic regions. Thats the truth, and nothing else...

Trauma Hound: People this is not a video game!
Oh dear me. There are indeed some people believing they can manipulate and design the whole world like have seen on a VIDEO GAME. For them it makes no difference whether only one, or 1 000, or 1 000 000 people are dead. Its just a like video game; nothing else;-( They think new technology can design all what they want. They believe they can design food, wether, landscapes, ressources, soldiers, weapons, industries, plants, animals, human beings (and finally: brains) as just as they will, in their views and opinions... Modern technology does it all. No problem;-)
Its time to strike said people the "video games" out off their hands....

Yes, I`m living in South Georgia, because of this;-) Un-habitated island, only sea-elephants and pinguins... Very boring;-)

what a bad world we would live in, if everbody was a jw, and would shun you for taking blood, for missing meetings, for becoming inactive, for marrying a person not spiritual enough, and so on so forth.. luckily there is only 1/1000 worldwide.. how would you picture this world if everybody was a jw?.
Cease to see the world only with eyes of a disappointed JW.
The world is indeed bad enough.
E.
You have no idea at all.
They (the US) have got nuclear mini-bombs since MANY years. Soviet Union already had it (nuke in a suit-case, didnt you hear of? Read the technology magazines!)
What they are going NOW is to develope nukes with extremely low radioactive fall-out. Thats all.
E.
(You mean there will be no change of the world after use? Error;-)
Let Bush use nukes to bomb irakian civilists.
You cannot watch quick enough to see the world going down to armageddon, consequently. MILLIONS of suizide-bombers will come from all parts of the world to fight against US then. Even from Europe. You cannot imagine what happens then. Not in your worst dreams.

an inactive friend just spoke to some elders who, not from the platform but one-on-one, said they believe the coming war with iraq will cause world war iii and armageddon.
has anyone else heard this?
it may be that some are using this as a tactic to scare inactives back into the watchtower society along with their needed donations, especially since the pedophile and wts-u.n. scandals.
Hello >realist<
Nice to hear you are a pacifist too.
I`m convinced mankind will achieve a period of time where they will cease to fight against each other. Its a prophesy I am sure this will come true.
The way to arrive that goal ist hard; very hard.
As for me, I am convinced that a US-strike against Irak is no walkover. As longer such a war lasts, as more suizide-attacs against USA and other western military and civil structures will be launched by extremists amd fanatics. And if there are million of people fighting in such a manner against western industrial society, there will be no chance that democracy can survive such a situation.
Dont forget that one billion people suffer under very low standard of life. They feel that a heroic death is better than a life in hunger and misery. They have nothing to loose. But a GI has.....

God bless Austria;-)
