Your Views:The people of Iraq are behind him strongly and he has done a fair job in progressing the country. Unless there is a specific evidence that his continueance is a threat to World peace, there is no need for him to go

Your Views:This is high handedness of Bush and his allies on Iraq and its innocent people (women & children) in the name of outsing Mr.Saddam and to save the world of chemical weapons. Is it the solution to oust Mr.Saddam by targetting innocent people by America, who claims to be the champion of Human Rights. Mr. Saddam is the President of Iraq chosen by the Iraqi people and Iraqis want him as their President. If at all Iraqi people want Mr.Saddam Hussain to step down they have the power to do so, but are not doing so as they have full faith in him and his government. Hence Mr.Saddam Hussain should not go. His going out is not the solution, but withdrawing the attack by US and their alleys is the solution, and in doing so the whole world will be with US government and support it in future.

Your Views:In my view war is just like one dictator asking another dictator to step down and replace his own dictatorship.I strongly condemm any act of terrorism be it from the Iraq side or be it a white collar murder like being done by Mr George Bush. Mr Bush who never travelled outside the USA seems to have shorter vision and lack of exposure in the world political scenario and adament like a child to take over the Moon. If Saddam has done something wrong it should be panalised but not by America , who is USA to decide the fate of millions of people of IRAQ ?? It will lead to the death of UN as today this may be the case between Iraq and USA , tommorow it may be another country against which Mr Bush become mad to rule and ask the govt of that state to step down. Infact Mr Bush is diverting the attention of the American people from the failture of economics and bussiness front in USA. Let the innocent people be free from war , I request Mr.President to set aside the adament behavoir for the benefit of Democracy. Despite being shamful ending in Afagan War and clueless about the Main Culprit in war after disturbing peace & harmony gained nothing. USA must take a lesson.

Your Views:Democracy cannot be established by force and US attack is crowdedly and unjustified. The war is not meant for the establishment of democracy in Iraq but to fulfil the vested interest of US on oil resources. Nothing else than fulfilling the domestic need for fuel. But we have to see will it be similar to Vietnam War? Will American interest be fulfilled? Yes, this time oil is more important than human blood for US. Can one say US believes in democracy? One has to suspect why are they trying to through the elected president? What is the definition of democracy in US term? May be might is right (those who are strong should dominate the world by force) and share of the world resources should go to Britain and US???

Your Views:No. Not at the behest of USA or its allies. If he has to go, the Iraqi people should decide as to when and how he should go. President Saddam may be bad but there are many such bad people all around the world, even at the top positions in variuos governemnts. This must not be the reason to throw him out and put a puppet in his place. And not in this way. The world peace is disturbed and we, the common people of the third world are deeply distressed at such US aggression defying the United Nations. What does it show? USA is bigger than the UN and that is not good for the world. The balance of world power may tilt tomorrow, then what happens? USA, whom we look at as the super-power and epitome of technological excellence for the benfit of mankind - how can they kill thousands of innocent people in a country which is half dead due to 12-year old UN sanctions. We can only pray that this effort of USA does not lead to Third world war or more terrorist attacks leading to death of hundreds of innocent people. Only hope that this war will come to an end very fast before anything 'worse' and 'big' take place.

Your Views:Why should saddam go !!! Campaign started by Bush has gathered momentum through various US media of Saddam doing evil over people of Iraq. None of the stories can be verified or would come to people back as truth or made up stories. By utrocities what we hear through CNN happening in IRAQ may also be happening in US for people in general which are never reported or bad. US of A must not ACT as police over world, prime concern here in this WAR actualy will be what are the accruells USA & ENGLAND trying to gather for their own economy as well as votes for themselves since both the leaders have not turned around as what they promised to people in their respective country. Remains to be seen what will be the answer SADDAM gives to the attack , another funny news item is about IRAQ using chemical weapons, They were not given chance after inspection to destroy now US/UK started bombarding & expect SADDAM to give him self away quitly, Saddam should not use chemical weapon but US/UK can use in the name of better world??? Which world we are in ?? Tomorrow comes & we never know if US of A would like face of Saudi King or Indian leader since Uncle sam never liked them, Are we all ready?

Your Views:As per Mr. Bush Oil is thicker than blood. That is why he is killing lakhs of innocent people by bombing. To capture the oil rich country under their control. He is not fit to be a president of USA. Because American are asper my knowledge very nice people. But he is not. He has not thought that the IRAQIs are also human being. They are knowing how live in their country and who should rule their country. Bush should think of his country. If one American dies he will make so much hue and cry. Where his Missiles and Bomb and kill lakhs and lakhs of people. There are lot of childrens and aged people who can not run and take the shelter will be trapped under his Bombs and Missiles. The International community should come out against this kind of action. Let there be another world war. Another world war is better. Instead of surrundering to Mr. Bush. Bush is taken granted that all Americans are supporting him. God will help Saddam hussain and iraqi people from this assult. By Ivanc

Your Views:I think usa is bossing around a bit too much...it preaches a lot but doesnt practice even a bit of it. It's stand on Kashmir problem...support to Pakistan....asking india to maintain calm....all this on one side and it's own stand on Iraq and Afghanistan on other side. It does not have any evidence today against the Iraq Govt. and it is marching ahead to kill thousands of Iraqi civilians including women and children. I think the US is absolutely wrong...the situation is not so bad that he should declare a war...take the situation of india and pakistan...india has maintained so much restrain inspite of so much evidcence. And even the UN is not supporting such act of US. By going in for a war, Bush will prove himself for a bigger and a much more harmful dictator as compared to Saddam Hussain.

Your Views:It is just not the question whether Iraq is right or wrong by keeping weapons of mass destruction. Importantly, I do not understand what danger USA is envisaging, sitting thousands of Kilometers away from Iraq. For that matter, even USA is in possession of weapons of mass destruction. This is nothing but the bullying tactics of USA to take over the oil reserves in Iraq. Who the hell is USA to decide who will lead other countries. Bush Junior will be known to future generations as a war monging devil. As on today, if there is any rogue state, it is USA and not Pakistan :) Global political scenario now feels the absence of another super power to put brakes to USA's tantrums. I wish, all peace loving countries, shed their reservations and come out in public to criticise the ghastly acts of USA against small countries. May god bless all the people in Iraq and curse Bush Junior. W/Regards

Your Views:Saddam in power or not is an extraneous issue. The issue is here we have a leader who talks about ethics and morality of war or the lack of it on the part of Iraq but whereas US has been the only country in the world who has been commitng these atrocities with impunity . Remember Hiroshima, Vietnam, 1991 BOMBING OF 100,000 conscripts in IRAQ well after the cease fire, Carpet bombing with daisy cutters in Afghan. Do wehave to listen to this moralistic vitriol from this despot?

Your Views:This is a decission Saddam has to take. But if I have to take give my virdict I have to place myself in his boots. Then if I were Saddam, in this situation there will be no question of leaving my naton leaving my folks to the mercy of an invader and the soveringty and cherished history and pride of the nation at the mercy of the conspirators. I will lead all the resources, citizens and their pride inthemselves in a such a way that my nation for generations to come will be proud of me and my co-patriots and add us in their folk lores. I will lead my poeple and fightback in such a grave fashion that the aggressor will feel ashamed of himself and tremle in his own boots and will be unnerved to handle his sophisticated equipment. I will make my soverign nation proud and put my life at the alter to provide the world with a buityful heroic story it can sing for years to come. There is no way to give up till the last drop of blood flows in the veins of a patriot. this blood was drawn from this soil and will fight till the last drop for this soil. JAI HIND

Further UN resolution has also not been obtained. Who in this world have given the right to Bush to attack any one whom he desires. Other countries must come forward and protest against him.

Your Views:Saddam need not go just because US wants him to. Firstly, they are wrong in interfering into the rights of a country to elect its rulers; secondly, they have begun these attacks in blatant defiance of the UN directive which is ridiculous to say the least. Finally, they cannot play GOD to the world. They may next go to N Korea under the pretext of arms pile up and finally land up in our neighbourhood (Pakistan, where else) stating that Musharraf & party are supporting Al Qaeda or whoever. This HAS TO stop and all sane minded countries should get together at this hour of need to make world bodies like NAM relevant!

Who has given US the right to go around killing innocent people in the name of peace? Will the world now be controlled by Bush Jr and his cronies? What terrorism threat does Iraq have to US? Countries like India have been facing terrorism for years but refrain from war understanding its seriousness. Had a war been fought on US ground, perhaps that paranoid nation wudnt have been so eager to have innocent blood shed. Right now its all happening in foreign lands. For power and violence crazy US, its just another Rambo film! Shame on the so-called super power for playing a world bully.

Your Views:WOuld you have asked the same question if Bush were asked to quit USA? Would YOU want to quit your homeland, because a bully asks? USA for all its 'greatness' is just a vehicle for the latest anti-christ, GEORGE W BUSH, Jr.! While Saddam Hussein is no innocent, neither is Bush! SO how would Bush react to anyone telling HIM to beat it, out of USA? SO why should he & his coterie expect Saddam to vacate? Insult upon injury? He controls the largest arsenal of Mass destruction-proudly talks about them too!.....yet, Iraq is the villian! Tomorrow, US Troops & bombers will move into Iraq from Kuwait (illegitimate offspring of USA & UK), and move towards the Southern Oil fields (the PRIME US OBJECTIVE), then, onto Baghdad. The other illegitimate offspring (ISRAEL) is smirking with glee... deliberately kept out of the news & arguments...despite the daily massacre of Lebanese! The greatest beneficiary of this WAR! BUSH ....who will get the Jewish $s and weapons... and control of the gulf oil! The greatest terrorist is BUSH,with his droves of terrorists who will massacre Iraqis to vindicate his father's blackened face .. Avenging his father's defeat is his inspiration !

And lookig at the attitude of US towards a world body, I feel outragous. Why US has not same kind of view for other countries of the world who are dangerous like Pakistan, North Korea and others. Saddam must remain in power so that US could realize thar on a world forum she can not act on her own. It is being said that Saddam is not elected representative of his country, but that is true to many country. This is war for oil and business obviously and no rational human can support this.

And also our own big uncle sam acting to be the policeman of this world have other ideas. in the sake of cleaning chemical weapons,they are looking with a cunning eye towards the oil wealth of the arabs.By disobeying UN they are clearly becoming arrogant and showing it out. Power rules isn't it?.With every one praying to avert the war why Bush and Saddam is busy in sacrifising innocent people.They don't know the meaning and value of life. I would say after opting for war both the leaders should have gone to the war front and fight till their end.War is never a solution to anything but only gives rise to thousand other problems.our noble laurates has nothing to say about this?where is the UN?Where are the world leaders?

Your Views:MISTAKE OF THE MILLENIUM!!! GO SADDAM GO !!!! Rippp the US Army. Jr. Bush and Tony have launched an illegal attack against a sovereign nation against international law, against the consensus of public opinion and without any reason other than the fact that they misjudged the international climate of public opinion. They have gone too far and were unable to turn back. Even if they want to take back a step back now, it costs more $$$ move artillery and Army than they have invested. This is not a holy war. The war is to get complete hold of the Oil in Iraq. Chemical and Biological weapons is only the outer flavor that Jr. Bush and Tony is showing to rest of the world. If these two Countries can declare war against Terrorism, India can also declare War against Pakistan which has got a noble cause. Jr. Bush and Tony has got no right to kill innocent human beings in Iraq. I have only one wish - America should face 2 more similar attacks of September 11 attacks. This time - destruction should be 100 times more than Sep 11 attacks. But humans should not die. Only the destruction of bridges and buildings (National property). Then Jr. Bush will understand the result of war. I mean it.

US says Saddam is having dangerous weapons and for the cause of world peace they attack Iraq. Does this not appicable to US who have more and more dangerous weapons than any other country in the world? Why does US wants Saddam to move out of the country?? If George Bush is asked to leave US for the cause of world peace ,will he accept it???? Who is Bush to establish democracy in Iraq????Have Iraq people elected Bush as their president to do it???? War is a mear GAME for US to test their dangerous Weapons among the Innocent civilians of Iraq and acquire the Land of Oil resources.Today US takes the innocent lives of Iraq for acquiring Oil resources ????Tommorow it may happen to any other country ......God save the world from the Americans.....

By doing so the entire essence of Democracy is lost, democracy is also giving people the right to choose for themselves. In any case Saddam has a right to stay where he is it is Bush who should stop trying to play the Knight in shinning armour.

Your Views:Yes. It might be a rather difficult decision for him to make since it involves sacrificing himself for saving miseris to his nation. But given his track record, he is not going to go away till he is finished. I think even the objective of the US led coalition is to get rid of Saddam more than anything with this war. But even after war, I think Iraqi people are not going to get justice. They will be in the mercy of the victors viz. US and probably some part of the booty will still be available to them for keeping.

Democracy and never be installed by force...look at Pakistan, Zimbabwe and Figi, it comes naturally as a soul of a nation. Regarding Saddam, we dont know if he has to go or not. If his qualities are seen as bad then there are many like him around the world who still rule with out any obstruction. Look at Burma, the military govt. took over, removing a democratic elected govt. Why dint US interfare then. Well if oil is found maybe we will see few cruise missiles firing away. Till Then...lets hope this world can be a better place to live where people will care and fight for more important issues. thats all..from a management student prespective, who is graduating into the corporate world shorty.

Bush is always a war prone leader who always wants to fight with one or the other to divert his domestic attentions, When he is waging a war against the world community why shouldnt he be taken to international court for war crimes. And he has to be made responsible for all humatarian crisis and the Economic crisis caused due to the war and also all the American people should be held responsibe for having a leader of such a calibre. Its really pity for the world community whcih is not able to control a Individual. Let God Bless all of us.

Your Views:Clear evidences are not established regarding possession of Chemical & Biological Weapons by Iraq. War / Killing of thousands of innocents is not the route for removal of these weapons even if they possess. First of all what qualification US has to say even that other countries should not possess these when they have Nuclear Stock piles which can kill not only the present but the future generation also. In addition US has the capabilty of targetting any spot in the world with their nuclear stock pile. Iraq even if they posess Chemical weapons, they do not have the capability of striking far off places. When they take a step towards usage of this kind of weapons, the whole world community can join hands and counter before these weapons are used. Even great Ramakrishna Parama Hamsa did not advice a small kid to not to eat sweets because he himself was eating then. He called the child after one month and adviced him during which time he himself first stoped eating Sweets. Us knowing very well the Pakistan's attitude of supporting Terrorism against India for decades which is more hazardous than possessing of Chemical weapon (not using them), is supporting Pakistan in all indirect ways.

Bush is taking this whole issue too personally, not caring about the innocent civilians who are going to be killed by this assault. Bush has also ignored World Opinion on Iraq and has gone ahead with the war for no appropriate reason. Britain, Australia, Spain and other supporters of U.S. have to be ashamed of themselves. They cannot think on their own and they're blindly doing whatever U.S. wants them to do. This war is a total outrage. It's very disappointing!!!

This shows the war is only for oil and nothing else. If Saddam leaves US cannot do anything, Iraqi people have new government, without there consent US cannot claim for oil. So Saddam should go to stop the killings of innocent people of Iraq. US has to be thought a lesson by UN permanent members, that such conducts in future will not be entertained any more. Today Iraq? Tomorrow North Korea? the list goest on. US wants to hold world which is highly impossible. This US act may lead to third world war.

Iraq having terrorist link with al-qaida. There is no single evidence US has produced on this. 2. On Iraq having a cruel dictator in form of Saddam, so does most of the middle east countries including US close ally Saudi Arabia, not to mention countries like pakistan, Mayanmar and many african countries. So, is US going to go to war with every one of them? + one should not forget that among all the Arab countries Iraq is the most liberal, be it in terms of women rights or attitude towards non-muslims. 3. Saddam posesses WMD, so does India, Pakistan, North Korea, China, Iran and God knows how many. Apart from above, the hypocrisy is, North Korea is being offered aid by US for similar reasons for which they are attacking Iraq.

All the nations in the world has threat from one & another.Are they all acting like us(U.S.)? South Korea - North Korea,India Pakistan,Israel-Palestine & the list goes on.... First of all,it is we(U.S) who helped Iraq & Al - Qaeda with warfare. At some point when they turn against us,then we(U.S). projects them as the enemy of MANKIND. Let us speak about the need of the hour.... We(U.S). say - Saddam Hussein must leave the country within 48 hrs. Who are we to order him?Is Saddam or Iraq under our control? Has Bush got 100% votes in the elction ?But Saddam has.It shows how his people like him to be their president. If somebody comes to our house & says to get out of our house - will we be quiet?How would we feel?It is the position of Iraqis. I don't know why there are no protests in this last 48 hrs against Bush policy of war. We are putting the lives of our brothers & sisters engaged in war & also the lives of Iraqis.Is human life such a cheap one? After the Kuwait war,for the past one decade Iraqis are quietly leading their lives. Did they cause any trouble to U.S.?Nothing. But U.S. says that they are helping Al-Qaeda.If we go back & turn the pages of history the very first person who helped Al- Qaeda would be U.S..Today Pakistan is also helping the terrorists especially Al-Qaeda.We all know it.How comw they let the Al-Qaeda people into their country & then for getting monetery help from U.S. they arrested the backbrain of September 11th attack. Then why Iraq alone ???????? Al Qaeda killed a tens of hundreds of thousands lives.But we are worst than them by going to war as it would kill millions of lives leave the effect of it ofr generations to come as the Vietnamese.We are only responsible for the Vietnamese who suffer even today because of some weapons & gases used in that war. It is because Iraq has the 2nd largest oil resource. U.S. wants its base in the Gulf region as it was in the 80's when Iraq was U.S' puppet. Why are we like the flock of sheep? Just going behind Bush eventhough we know from the deepest of our minds that he is doing wrong? Is it a goal of the Bushs' family or their party's to engage in war? Why would Al-Qaeda do the September 11th attack as soon as Bush came to power? What about the state of U.N.?it is a puppet of U.S.?Will it & all the nations of the world be quiet if any other nation that did not get the approval for war in U.N.wages war? Then why an organisation?U.N.failed to fulfil its purpose for which it was created. If this act of Bush's lead to 3 rd World war.Then it would be a shame for us & our country. Let us all protest against the Bush government in all ways we can & try to prevent the war.

The act of America is more of a bullish (UN whats that all about) recently on email protest i got this explanation "You know if you had a dog that every time you passed by it bit you, and every tine you said, "Please don't, let's be friends." Eventually you would just pick up a stick and hit it. Maybe then it would get the message. This dog has been doing this for 12 years. So it no longer believes the UN because the UN just won't pick up the stick. Either they are afraid of the dog or they are in bed with the dog. Both are bad scenarios. But i think US has got no right to advise other whats wrong or right. No one appointed them as the judge of the world. And for that matter should Saddam go, let the People of Iraq decide.

So for good of iraqi people it better saddam goes. but he wont go so easy, it has to be forcefully done. which means again iraqi people have to suffer. and america will never go to war without their personal interest. it is oil politics or some other issue. if america cared for human values where were they when millions were masscared in burundi and rawanda(there are many such instances where american never bothered). so saddam or america both are wrong. i am sorry for iraqi people and hope this war is short and they get a chance to lead a normal life. and finally what to we do with United Nation ??? really thats another question remained to be answered.

Your Views:WELL Bush must go. its the us who put him in place against ayyatollah khomani. the world can do with a beat constable (bush) around. today it is pakistan that theey are neglecting as a potential terrorist country and tommorow it will be the pak army ratheer than anybody else who will be a threat to world peacee. the american policy of ad-hochism is resonssible for their plight be it afghanistan, south america, cuba, yogalsavia, syria or else where. its the short sightness of the american foreign policies and a lack of moral standing that will one day spell their doom....this is the begining.

Your Views:1. By not getting the UN mandate, Bush has made it reduntant. I feel if UN cannot protect IRAQ it should be dissolved since this is a warning for all countries. Be with US or face their weapons. Its not a war for WMD, but to enrich the gloomy American economy, to tap oil wells of IRAQ and to give the weapon producers their share. If there is no war in this world what will the US wepoanry do?? What will their industry survive on?? Its not an attack against an individual, but an attack against an entire civilization. I dont think anybody supports Saddam, but its his people who have chosen him. If they dont want him they would have fought against him. Its not America who should dicate ruler's of other country. If the situation is like this I think the time is near when all the coutries will have to succumb to american culture of doing whatever they are feeling and not to respect other's freedom and other's right. Mr Bush, I think you will be regarded as the son of hitler, who spread across hatred with love for blood.

Your Views:YES ,Saddam should go! But then not by War please.. Already the suffering iraqis have had enough. By unleashing a war against them would be a terrible mistake. Instead the iraqi opposition should be made powerful or some kind of military coup. I wouldnt allow someone to come and sit at my home , just becoz my father doesnt treat me properly , would I ??

Your Views:No!! saddam should face the uk cuz which weapon is being distroyed at iraq that (and much dangerous than thos already have US) I think this is not war against terror or against dangerous weapons its only war for OIL. US need self control on iraq. Nothing else its only only US slefishness
