Authors Note:Names taken here are not to be taken personally, this is just to contradict any points of view that has arisen and to tell the person that there is another side to the story.
This is done with no intention of showing disrespect to him or her.
There are two points of view and two different points of view, one of the American citizen who wants to back the american forces and something every citizen should do.
The other one is the one of absolute disgust with respect to Bush and something I can understand.
What people dont understand is that like the Dalai Lama says there has to be a middle path.
A middle path where Hussein has to be taken out but without losses to so many lives.
At the end of it all Hussein will be brought down no matter what but then how can the American forces gauge the success of the war where so many people would have died to bring down one person.

I have written this review after reading so many of your view points over the last 2 weeks, I have been simply unable to write a proper review because of health reasons.
First of all let us get one thing clear,
I am simplifying things like Bush likes to do and talk about good and evil.
Saddam Hussein is one of the worst things to happen to Iraq;dont get me wrong, he isnt a bad muslim leader, he is simply a bad leader just like Gandhi wasnt a great Hindu or Mandela isnt a great black leader;they were and are GREAT MEN.
On the other hand, going after him doesnt make Bush a great leader or a bad one, he will SIMPLY go down in history either as a blundering NOVICE who either made a huge mistake or a brilliant president who got the world rid of an arrogant dictator.
I dont hate Bush nor do I like him, I just feel Bush has got his timing wrong for the following reasons.
1.Simple-LIFE
We have become so used to talking about dead people in numbers especially in third world countries, we dont think for one moment that these dead people had others who LOVED them and I mean love in the truest sense which I am sure you have experienced just as I have.
Saddam has to be taken OUT via intelligence not a war like this, its just too risky.
I cannot and WILL not condone a serious looking Bush or Powell coming to the dias at the Pentagon and saying that 20 people died in a bomb attack and explain these things happen in a war.
I cannot understand why over the past decade an American or an European’s life is worth more than an Indian’s or an Iraqi’s.
What bush should have done?:
Taken him out through intelligence not LARGE SCALE BOMBING.
(I have almost cursed here)
2.For god sakes-Look at the Logistics
The world is going through one giant recession, where one goes for a weekend holiday and comes back on monday to find his job has been taken.
The world is coming back slowly to terms to a lack of consumer demand and other falls everywhere and a WAR even for a fortnight is the last thing anyone needs.
What Bush should have done?:Waited for a little more Time
The Islamic world is one which needs leadership(I am not talking about the muslims in India), its an extremely volatile one and one where only a small spark is needed to ignite a huge fire, AS I type here learned, thinking young men and women are becoming increasingly anti-American and in a huge way.
Saddam Hussein hasnt come to power and held it for so long by chance and he will definetly make the people construe an attack on Iraq as a war on Islam.
What Bush should have done?:Waited for a little more Time
What happens once Hussein is brought down, is to be thought of as well, you will come to face with a country which has no money and no resources and Bush will have to pump in huge amounts of money something which the average American citizen wont like.
Lets look at the other side of the coin here:
1.Why does Bush want to to bring done Iraq?
Lets get one thing clear, Iraq as a country is not a threat to the United States, Bush is worried that Saddam could sell all his weapons to some organization like say Al-Qaeda.
Is he justified? Of course he is.
2.Why does Saddam need to be taken down?
People in Iraq dont get enough food and stop thinking its because of UN imposed sanctions, apart from that Hussein is rather wealthy, (just look at the rewards to iraqis who bring down american planes), and the last thing Iraq needs is another 30 years of Hussein rule which seems rather probable as we have another maniac in son Qusay.
The Thing that I fear the most is the Islamic Backlash and its people like you MISSY and people like I who will be the victims and not Bush(he will be in a cosy bunker).
The people of that faith are in a state of anger and revenge will soon be the order of the day if this is not stopped soon and we might have another 9/11.
Prophetic words you think?
Crazy set of words you think?
How many of us could have actually predicted a 9/11?If it has happened once, it might as well happen again(ex:Bali) and dont FORGET:
Anti-American sentiments have RISEN and not come DOWN after 9/11 and thats a fact.
A HARD FACT.
