Silvarel, I wouldn't reccommend you trying to argue with me on FlameVault. I really don't want to hand my guild leader's wife a verbal smackdown
Suffice it to say, I can actually debate without flaming, but flaming is just more fun. So here's my non-flame, and rather boring response.
Why watch the debate, you have already made your mind up as to who would come off looking worse in the end.
I like to see people in charge called out on thier lies and stupidity. Besides, Bush may actually surprise us all and speak exceptionally during this sort of debate. Having the 2 leaders of the countries that are about to engage in war debate the reasons for that war would definately be an eye opener.
You state he would make statements that are pure bullshit so why waste time on listening to him in a debate?
You misread my point. I feel Saddam would focus on things like our suppossed photos of bunkers and trucks full of bombs, which he may very well know are complete bullshit. He would be caught up in defending himself against what he knows are obvious lies and ignore whenever the subject needed to be changed to address actual infractions.
Yes all he has to do is disarm, do what they have told him to do,whats to debate?
This is one of the many things that would do well for a live debate. Disarm what? Hell, I still don't know what Iraq needs to disarm, and I follow this drama daily. I find it odd that only the al-Samoud 2 missile, a freaking 93 ranged mile medium warhead no less, is America's "ace in the hole" and case for war. All the other "hot-words" like dirty bomb, chemical weapons, and weapons of mass destruction simply have not been found. As has been stated on this board and others time and time again, these weapons require proper storage, maintenance, and upkeep. These are not items that can simply be buried in the desert and dug up 2 years from now and be used to terrorize the world. They just don't work like that. I see plenty to debate.
Well I understand how people feel this way when they are so interrested in hearing a debate challenged by a man like Saddam, keep giving him credit I'm sure he is sitting in his bunker laughing his ass off every time he has another American or our allies country men protesting over the likes of him.
Saddam deserves credit for the exact reasons I stated above. He is doing what very few people in history have ever done by holding of an invading force using only diplomacy and politics. However, my respect for Saddam ends there. I do not feel he is an honest or just leader. I don't see anyone cheering on Saddam on this forum or on television. I see people that empathize with his perdicament and appreciate the way he is handeling himself.
America just needs to step off the war wagon and let the inspectors do thier job. It will produce more results and cost less money and lives, both innocents and Americans. The people that want war need to realize that there is precious little to even destroy in Iraq. That country barely has anything left standing as it is, and it never was a bastion of modern civilization anyway. Our governemt is waging an unjust war IMO. There is not enough proof or evidence for me to lend my support to a war against Iraq. Furthermore, our little war will cost us billions and billions of dollars more than what has already been spent at a time when the country is seriously hurting financialy. Our country's priorities are really messed up right now IMO.
Here is a link to one of the few Senators with enough balls to point out the obvious. I suggest taking a good look and trying not to disreguard the many, many excellent points that are brought up in this article.

I also feel that Bush's highly criticized "axis of evil" speech has caused more harm than people think. I believe that single comment is the motivating drive behind the North Korean's current defensive nature. This "pre-emptive" strike strategy that America is adopting is making our precieved future enemies dig deep and start thinking about the only way they hope to have a chance against our military might: Nukes. And lots of 'em! This administration's actions will be haunting us for decades, both financially and in terms of our allies, who's opinions we dismiss with a wave of the hand. We need damage control more than we need a war with Iraq. Although, I wouldn't really call an unprovoked attack on a country where 50% population are children a war per-say. Hell, I don't even know what we'd "go to war" against. The country is still in shambels from the last war.
Then again, if we did level the whole country, killing hundreds or thousands of innocents as well as losing American soldiers, at least you "Won't have to put up with Saddam's crap over the years to come".
Silvarel, feel free to debate me, but please do so with more than a snip from a paragraph. Address the point I bring up, not the wording or semantics of my post. Also, keep it flame free, or else my gloves come off. I know you have a temper

Everyone else can flame me at will, because they all know I think they're retards, and they think the same about me

However, with guildmates I would like to keep things civil. Just remeber: You started it!
