Subject: To all those still against the war (I did some research for you)

(I apologise for bringing a dead topic back to life, but I feel it is important. I don't expect replies to this, I'm just posting relavent information...)

Sometimes the best argument is when you don't use your own words...

"There was a machine designed for shredding plastic. Men were dropped into it and we were again made to watch. Sometimes they went in head first and died quickly. Sometimes they went in feet first and died screaming. It was horrible."
-Iraqi torture witness' sworn statement to INDICT

�In 1991 Saddam killed 500,000 people when they rose against him. Nobody demonstrated against him then. But now the United States wants to get rid of the dictator, people are demonstrating against it.�
-one of the Iraqi liberation soldiers the U.S. is training at "Camp Freedom" in Hungary

"This is more than a preemptive strike. It is clearly a defensive action. We are defending ourselves and others against this madman."
-Rush Hudson Limbaugh III

"The Iraqi regime and its weapons of mass destruction represent a clear threat to world security. This danger has been explicitly recognized by the U.N."
-Letter by Eight European leaders in support of the United States

"At the end of all of the academic arguments is whether we are willing to pay the price to bring freedom to the people of Iraq. If we are, we will not regret it."
-Vietnam veteran and former Democratic Senator Bob Kerrey

"The last thing we want to see is a smoking gun. A gun smokes after it's been fired�. If someone waits for a smoking gun, it's certain we will have waited too long."
-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld

"We are praying you will stick to your resolve to liberate our country from a dictatorial tyranny over 30 years which has caused the deaths of nearly 2 million men and women, sons and daughters." -Letter to UK Prime Minister Tony Blair from Iraqi Exiles

"Of course they have no credibility. If they had any, they certainly lost it in 1991. I don't see that they have acquired any credibility."
-Chief U.N. Weapons Inspector Hans Blix, on the Saddam regime

"If Saddam Hussein fails to comply and we fail to act or we take some ambiguous third route, which gives him yet more opportunities to develop his program of weapons of mass destruction and continue to press for the release of sanctions and ignore the commitments he's made? Well, he will conclude that the international community's lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on doing more to build an arsenal of devastating destruction. If we fail to respond today, Saddam and all those who would follow in his footsteps will be emboldened tomorrow. The stakes could not be higher. Some way, someday, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal."
-President Bill Clinton in 1998

�I am surprised to hear of all the anti-war demonstrations in the West. I wish that the demonstrators could spend just 24 hours in the place I have come from and see the reality of Iraq. Fourteen lost years of my life. Nothing but bread for food � darkness, filth, beatings, torture, killings, bitterness and humiliation.�
-Rafat Abdulmajeed Muhammad, jailed for selling a roll of film to an British journalist

"Iraq under Saddam�s regime has become a land of hopelessness, sadness, and fear. A country where people are ethnically cleansed; prisoners are tortured in more than 300 prisons in Iraq. Rape is systematic . . . congenital malformation, birth defects, infertility, cancer, and various disorders are the results of Saddam�s gassing of his own people. . . the killing and torturing of husbands in front of their wives and children . . . Iraq under Saddam has become a hell and a museum of crimes."
�Iraqi Safia Al Souhail, Advocacy Director of the International Alliance for Justice

"Why didn't you come sooner? May God grant you victory." - Iraqi woman as she wept to a Coalition soldier

Saddam is an evil, sick saiddist. He is the type of evil we haven't seen since Hitler or Stalin. But, yeah, some of you might have a point...we're just doing it for oil right? We should leave the Iraqi people to deal with their dictator and we should trust a corrupt dictator who has lied to the world for years.

I don't think so.

This war is a just war. We are fighting the good fight. We will win and history will look well upon us. Now is the time that leaders prove themselves...they do what is RIGHT because it is RIGHT, not because the whole world says so. The 47 nations acting in this 3rd largest coalition of all time (the 1st largest being WWII and the 2nd being the 1st Gulf War) have made there decision to stand up for what is right and they will prevail.
