kat, may i point out that 9/11 hurt our ecconomy. our airlines are going
bankrupt, the tourism losses are huge in atlanta for example.  a vial of
some virus or a chemical in a cities water is not going to make people think
of going out immedatly to buy something at home depot unless it is duct
tape, oh maybe the gas mask industry will be helped.  bush is thinking of
the ecconmy.

Here's where I get really sceptical about the effectiveness of peace
marches.  What peace initiatives are going to stop him from doing that -
sacrificing his own people?  He's still going to massacre the Kurds.
He's
still going to browbeat the poor people into his armies.  His son is
still
going to be the 'infant-terror' of the country.  None of that will go
away
and still will continue if we don't do anything.  So no matter what
happens,
innocent lives will be lost.  Yes, I will let the administration know of
my
opposition to war with Iraq, but honestly, I don't see toppling Saddam
via
war being any worse than letting him stay in office.  I'm opposed to it
because of the cost to us and our economy. I think Bush needs to focus
on
the economy and other domestic matters.
