You don't have an opinion or war on Iraq? Join the club! Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Ok, since the start of the war we have seen 'pro' people and 'against' people.

This is the thread for those who dont fit into those two categories


What is your reason for not having an opinion or this? Or do you simply not care?



I personally am a bit sad, war is not a good thing, but I am too distant from it to pretend I can identify with Iraqis. I also cant say I sympathise with USians. They are the agressor. But I am not big enough hypocrite to attack them from a moral point, they are fighting for my oil too. But Iraquis should topple Saddam themselves... etc etc.

For every argument I can basicaly find a counterargument plus, and I am not emotionally attached to either side. Or the oil.


It is not that I don't care. But not that I care either.

I don't have an opinion on this.

Anyone else with simmilar attitude?

Got spare money?

I am somewhat undecided, but leaning towards for the entire move.

I am strongly for a swift war to liberate iraq from Saddam. worrying about human lives is stupid, when so many human lives were already lost due to his actions.

My worry is for the after-war Iraq, and how would the US admnistration handle it.

Well Azazel you are an Israeli and you are probably typing with your gasmask on so in your position I think I would be very anti-Saddam too.

No. It is a luxury because not many people can afford it. Obviousely, warring countries populations cant afford it because they will be shot as traitors and very very smart people cant afford it because they wouldnt look smart anymore

no, not at all. Actually, we're not afraid of an attack at all, though the thought always rests in the back of our minds. But we've developed an immunity to such stress.

It is a bit of pressure you know. Having an opinion about everything. I think the head is a bit heavier when it is full of big thoughts. This extra weight could affect ones spine in the long run.

So there are medical considerations also.

Hmm...

I like chaos, so war = great for me. But if you force me to take sides and answer it seriously, I'll probably have to take the agst side. Anyway, its probably not a good question to ask to a man w/o morals.

I will tell you in a few years if I am for it or against it. As it stands right now I am just watching and waiting. The aftermath will tell if it was the right move or not.

After watching grown men fight over only a small amount of food in Safwan today, I'm starting to think we waited too long.

I thought it was a legitimate war. I'm just pissed at the sheer bumbling of the administration in terms of diplomacy and sheer tactlessness in many cases. And I'm not sure about the Post war situation.

So yeah..indifferent

Well, as a journalist, I'm not allowed to have an opinion while on the job. That edict creeps over into my personal life as well — purely by my own choice — so I tend to be ambivalent towards any unyielding stance.
