Actually, I am beginning to think now that it is more and more likely that we will not go in at all.
Interesting, days ago I was firmly against the war. More recently I've had a "fuck it!" sort of an attitude.
Saddam is an evil bastard. If he falls it's good. Who cares if it's for the wrong reasons? If he falls it's good. If he's replaced by another evil bastard, then that's a shame... better the devil you know? I don't think so.
I thought the UN was who should have the final say... but then look at the dickhead tinpot dictator "guest" members on the security council. Hands out for aid, selling their vote to the highest bidder. The US/UK snubbing the UN will have consequences. Resulting in what? The end of the UN (not good) or a decent shake up (good)?
What is not good are the innocent victims that inevitably happen in a war. What also is not good are is the inevitable increase in anti-US terrorists.
I think I'll stay on the fence, the view is good from up here.
The UN should be comprised of Western Democracies only.
