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?
Iraq is a VERY real potential source of terror, and is therefore a hotbed for another twin towers.
Here's my reasoning.
Saddam WILL make weapons of mass destruction. He has the resources to do so, because he rules an entire country with a history of militaristic development over social programming. He has proven that not only will he do so if afforded the opportunity, he will make the opportunity by kicking out inspectors.
If Saddam really wanted to disarm, he would not have kicked out the inspectors.
My second point runs thusly, and follow me here my left-wing friends, because I am going to spell it out for you in simple terms. SADDAM... HAS... USED... THESE... WEAPONS... He has no compunctions about gassing or sickening people. At least the US is sensitive enough to the will of the populace to have NOMINALLY refused to use these devices. I have no illusions about my country's track record; however, I think a democratic society would rebel at the slaughter of what we deem innocent civilians. My Lai is a perfect example of how our country reacts to those kind of situations. Saddam's people have no choice about whether Saddam uses those weapons, and would probably cheer him on.
Ok, so we know for a fact that Saddam will build these weapons, and that he has no fear of using them. So, would he use them against the US in an unprovoked fashion? Does he have a track record of unprovoked aggression? Iran, Kuwait, and the Marsh Arabs would respond with a yes.
So, now, we come to the final point, if he had the weapons, COULD he use them against the US. Ah, there, he would have a willing ally in Al-Qaida. Not only has he hid some of their representatives in his country, they would also serve as willing hitmen to deliver toxic weapons to the US.
To sum up, He wants the weapons, he is building the weapons, he wants to use the weapons against us, he would have the ability to do so. The writing is on the wall. If God ever gave anybody a warning, it is to the United States that Saddam is a bad guy and some defense is necessary.
On another forum, someone said that a righteous New Order is the only way to ensure complete peace and security. I agree. If Jesus shows up, I'll burn my flag - but I don't think he minds if nations take collective action to ensure their security.
I hope this seems like a more balanced and informed opinion than the explosive rhetoric I indulged in while in a fit of existential fury. I apologize if I frightened or offended anyone.

not that i would ever go back but valis brought up an interesting subject in another thread.. what would the borg be like if... .
they let women be elders?.
they treated women as equals?.
The tower is doomed. Who needs em?
Start your own study group, and I say there is nothing wrong with letting women take the lead. Paul's advice was in a time when women couldn't even own property, so to make a concession to the attitude of the times he wrote his words, yadda yadda yadda, anyway, who cares what Paul says? He had some serious sexuality issues on his own account, so he should have yanked his rafter out of Timothy, hur hur, before he shot his... mouth... off.

6 reasons why so many allies want bush to slow down .

How do you propose to "make" Iraq accept things like spy planes. THEY DON'T WANT TO! There is not a diplomatic way to make them do anything. The only way we can is if we whack them. Take 'em out!
What you describe as arrogance is us doing our job. Like it or not, we ARE the policeman, because we ARE the strongest.
Europe has such a nice record of colonialism and imperialism, and they just wish they had that power back.

maybe i was just curious to hear what they were going to discuss.
i went to the two day circuit assembly.
for those who wonder, its theme was taken from psalms 37:3 it's theme trust in jehovah and do good.
Well,
I left the company and found Jehovah. Wierd, huh... I pray more than ever and pay attention to the bugaboos of the company even less. Really, if a JOB treated me like those illegitimate sons of goats then I'd quit! Let alone a religion.

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?
The price for "arrogance" my friend, is a kick in the ass. I wish you all the luck when your America crumbles, as will your mind when remembering my words here today.
Ah, now we get to the crux of the matter. americans that oppose this war are doing so because they fear another Vietnam. Foreigners that oppose this war are doing so because they fear that Iraq WON'T be another Vietnam.
When we say "dump" the UN, it's because everyone there hates us. I think we should keep it, for the entertainment value when foreigners say things like the above. The UN is irrelevant, but it makes France feel like they are still important, so I say let 'em keep it, so they can dream of the world before 1754.
this war is about vengeance and justice. If that's too Old Testament for you, then duck, because we are going to do what we need to do to KILL the people responsible for 9/11. That's right, I said the K word. I want blood in the gutters, as do many of my fellow americans, because the foreigners did NOT have to deal with the twin towers. I have been there. They were beautiful in the sun, imposing in the night, and when I see them in old movies my heart hurts for their loss.
Imagine 15 clubs in Bali erupting into flame and raining fire and death. Osama and Saddam don't care about your politics Prisca. They want you to be their slave. Only their fear of American power holds them in any kind of abeyance.
If the price for arrogance is a kick in the ass, then what is the price for blowing up three thousand people? That's right, we're going to take out our fury on the dictators of the world, and make them pay in blood for what they rejoiced over on 9/11.
Learn a lesson from 9-11? The only lesson is that our enemies have hardened themselves into inveterate slaughterers of women and children, mad dogs that must be put down. they gave away their humanity when they sought to press their claims in such a fashion.
Personally, we are going to roll into Baghdad and start selling rap albums - and they will thank us for it. Do you know that the Japanese are grateful that they lost the war? Germany owes us for liberating them, and safeguarding them from the USSR for fifty years.
Bomb, Bury, and then Rebuild in our Image.

I want a war to make me feel safe - here's why.
When Clinton acted like he didn't know what the hell was going on, our army grew weak and our enemies strong.
So, I say we beat the hell out of anyone that even LOOKS at us wrong! Nuke France! Who'd miss it?
No, it's not a video game, it's even better, TH! This world is about strength and war and blood and death! Wipe 'em out!
When our armies pound the feeble resistance into the ground, when Saddam hangs upside down a la Mussolini, with his rotten kids beside him, when the blood of fanatical Islam runs in the gutters, when even MECCA ITSELF has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland in the middle of the Hajj! Then I will feel better. The blood of one American is worth one thousand of the enemy. At last, a war has come that will test my fire, and I look forward to drinking the blood of my enemies from their skulls!

another question for everyone.
i have read through some of the threads, posts or whatever and even though there is a sense of disagreement over witnesses and the society, their way of handling the words of the bible.
i was curious to know if anyone does believe jehovah is his name?
I can appreciate the logic when people say that God shouldn't have a name, because He is infinite and omnipresent, and to give him a name is to hide his Truth behind a human tool.
However, I myself think that tools are useful, and so I call God Jehovah because that's how I was introduced to him, and I can vouch for the fact that He answers prayers in that name. It's irrelevant to me whether the ANGELS in His presence call Him that name or some other thing. The name is a tool that reinforces the fact that He has a personality, and feelings, and standards, and a listening ear.
Some look down on the name as being that of a desert God, but I say it works for me and my relationship with Him, so why not try it?

i just read david reed's "whither the watchtower", written in...umm, about 93 i think, about the necessary changes the wts faced at the time.
it's a good read if you haven't already.. i wanted to ask all of you which of their major teachings will be the next to change.
go ahead and play prophet, nobody will hold you to it, at least not like we're going to hold the wts to it.. i'm thinking the 144,000 (1935) or jesus as michael.
Jesus as Michael is frankly a non-issue. They just published an article about the matter, so they can't change until it fades in the general conciousness.
1914 MIGHT change soon - they haven't said anything about it for a while, since Freddie kicked the bucket.
What I would like to see change is a move towards a social doctrine - charity and good works need to be brought back to the fore, and a gentle move away from prophecies and chronology. Reason being, "generations" come and go but good works never go out of style. I think if they did that they could help alleviate some of the harm they've wrought in the public conciousness. I'm not saying get rid of the preaching work, but provide some kind of social network that would actually be of benefit to all the people that you recruit.
They won't though. Bunch of stubborn old coots that haven't pooped since they @#$% themselves in 1975.
