The issue here is "weapons of mass destruction" right? That's what this soon to be war is all about. Well that and removing Sadam from power....
But why? From a U.S. citizen's point of view, it seems a little stupid. As of now, the majority of the world hates us anyway for a whole variety of different reasons and these "weapons of mass destruction" are not even a direct threat to the U.S.. Even unchecked, Iraq is 10+ years from having capabilities to launch anything this far, unless of course the weapons inspectors are even more useless than they appear. So let Europe and the Middle East deal with it. They are the targets that are in range and for the most part they do not want us there to begin with (of course they want our money though --- infidel BAD, but infidel money GOOD). Besides that, I think we have more pressing matters a little bit closer to home. Like N. Korea.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying we should attack N. Korea or even consider the possibility at the moment, but lately there's been a lot of bad blood between the U.S. and N. Korea. N. Korea is making it clear that they do have the capabilities to launch at least as far as the west coast of the U.S. and that "if provoked" they will.
So, logically which is the more real threat right now? I would say N. Korea. GW did a hell of a job pissing them off with his "Axis of Evil" comment and I don't think they've ever gotten over it... especially since the term still comes up quite often. And now, it seems we are heading into the Phillipines full force. Oh, yes, we were already there as "advisors" but now we are preparing to commit assault forces to combat the Abu Sayyaf rebel movement. Let's not also forget we're still in Afghanistan and will be for awhile. And of course I am sure we are spread out in many other countries, some we know about, others we don't. And I almost forgot we're also fighting the "war on drugs" in Columbia, again using our military.
Basically, we need to go into Iraq about as much as we need a bunch more "paradise ticket holders" blowing themselves up and crashing planes, boats, etc into U.S. intersts abroad and at home. Of course, the latter we will get anyway. It is inevitable. Of course, they will say that we have brought this on ourselves through our infidel ways and we will continue to blow **** up in retalliation and the vicious cycle will continue....
So in summary, I didn't vote because I don't agree with any of the options listed, and I see the only way the U.S. should be involved in a strike against Iraq is with full U.N. backing. This will not happen anytime soon so long as France and Germany have a say in it.
