Journal C0LDFusion's Journal: End Game 6
I picked up my copy of the Washington Post today and checked the front headline. "Bush, Allies Give Diplomacy 24 More Hours".
This is it. The worldwide chess game begins. And the loser will be the U.S.A. And why do I say it? "C0ldFusion, I thought you argued FOR the war against all the socialist hippy foreigners and domestic Anti-American anarchists!" In my own way, I wasn't fighting FOR the war. I don't believe in this war, and I think it'll only hurt us.
However, I was fighting those who wish to hijack half-decent reasons against the war to cover up their own agendas. They are using reasons against the war because they hate America, or Capitalism (which America is a good example of), or Government all together. They don't really care about the war or the Iraqi civilians, they just want to obstruct anything the U.S. Government does, because right now it's being run by a Republican, and for Democrats to win, the U.S. has to be a failure. They've put themselves into the position that in order for them to win, the U.S. must lose.
But when a economic powerhouse fails, when a creditor nation fails, EVERYONE loses.
But anyway, back on point. This is the End Game of the U.S. And after this war, I'd give our country two futures, both will transpire in 5 years time.
Future #1: The U.S. Populace elects a democrat for president who promises to patch up our foreign relations and restore the economy. He succeeds because the economy will be decimated by the war's popular result, which caused an international boycott of American products. He succeeds on foreign relations by bootlicking every country, including Iran and Micronesia.
Future #2: G.W. gets re-elected. The U.N. becomes overall more Anti-American than ever, resulting in the expulsion of the U.S. The U.S. will be forced to fight against every nation in the world except Israel and Switzerland (both stay neutral), ending in the U.S. getting 0WNED.
Both futures suck. I'm already assuming Saddam won't make the proper gestures for peace, so it's a lock this war is happening.
I'm calling up the Japanese consulate. Maybe I can get a Visa...
UPDATE: Unable to acquire Japanese Visa. Seeking Visa from Mother Russia, because after all...In Soviet Russia, Visa get YOU.

That said, what are you going to be saying once the war starts? The time to protest a war is before the war starts. Once the war starts I beleive everyone has a responsibility to stand behind our government and our military, no matter what they th

When you sleep with dogs, you wake up with fleas. Help those who are futhering their own agenda and you stain your honor.

What about in Vietnam? Honestly, I'm thinking everyone should express their opinion of whatever the government does, as

Anyways, a global war of everybody vs. the US isn't gonna happen. Many eastern european countries do have a favorable view of the US for bringing down the Soviet Union. Portugal flat out said that it can't rely on anybody other then the US for protection, and I'm sure countries like Spain and Italy no doubt feel the same way (they linked up with the US against Iraq without needing bribes). Southern and eastern europe is already

Besides, when Clinton talked about attacking Iraq in 1998 and giving Saddam a "final chance" and dropped a few bombs, you didn't find any democrats screaming bloody murder. In fact, they all supported him lock, stock and barrel. The only problem most leftists have with the war today is that it isn't
