That old saying of the enemy of my enemy is my friend doesnt cut it in this situation. This guy Saddam hates our guts and will do anything to get back at us. He's got those chemical and biological agents that could very easily end up in al quaida's hands if they havent already. This dreg of society needs to be taken out. Yeah we all know that it will help Israel in the long run, but so what, this guy is our enemy and us and the world will be a better place without him.

Nope, don't buy it. President Sadam Hussein, may Almighty God guard and protect him, is a just and honorable man. May he live to enjoy 100,000 more cigars! He is just the man the Almighty wants on the door step of the edomite spawn of Hell.
The only war I support is the one against "It's a lie!"
ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, (all kazar owned) do not do my thinking.
I will never support a war to help the seed of satan while they do everything in their power to de-Christinize the USA.
May Almighty God also protect his mighty champion, Kim Jon Ill (phonetic) the Great Leader of Korea. May he live a 1,000 years and all of his enemies be dust beneath his blessed feet! Go ahead and nuke California, see if I care.
I would gladly welcome a Korean or Iraqie yoke in preference to the Ziononist one that has been on our neck for 70 years.

Hussein is neither just nor honorable, unsuprising since he is an Arab ruler.
We should neither support nor oppose him, save for our own interests. Personally, I wish we would stop bombing people, but since we are in that business, he is a fine target.
ALSO- while we should not be funding Israel, I don't see why anyone oppose them automatically.

My only concern is that if this Iraqi war is a romp, we might get too cocky and go after N korea. We can beat the Koreans too but at what cost. Remember the Korean war. They can put up some fight, and now they got nukes too.

No cost is too great in the effort to rid the world of Evil.

We should just nuke the world and let nature try again. This time around has all the markings of a test-run on it anyway. :P

This war will be good for us WN's.
It's a terrible thing, but this war might just place enough stress on the already-overburdened imperial system to bring it down.
Of course, (a) Shrub might be bluffing, and the whole thing will be resolved with a UN resolution and Saddam's peaceful abdication, and (B) Saddam's army will roll over and die without a fight, allowing the Empire to consolidate its image of invincibility in the eyes of the Sheeple.
Either way, we WN's lose, and the Empire wins another round.
On the other hand, it could happen that é this war will spin our of control under a whole bunch of possible scenarios, including revolution in Pakistan and maybe even Turkey, and most importantly Iran's entry into the war on the side of the Kurds and Iraqi Shiites. If that happens then the chances of a big anti-war wave developing in the West increase. Perhaps then our best hope would be to infiltrate that movement. It seems likely that anti-Semitism will increase on the Left, with Jews defecting to the GOP. It would be a very odd situation to be in, but that's the way it appears to me now.
The fact that Shrub has not yet attacked makes the scenario (a) appear more likely at this point, but one never knows, do one?

I have tons more ideas for how to clean up the whole system, plugins, game control, and other issues.

Been there, done that and I've got to tell you, the place is run like an old Soviet bureacracy. They can't do anything that's not in the current Billion Year Plan. Tech support is worse than useless. All they do is tell you to refer to the manual, which is long out of print and riddled with typos to boot. My copy is the old one, The Early Homonid's User Guide to the Universe, version 1.1b and doesn't have a lot of the newer features in it like war, politics, agriculture and fire, since it wasn't anticipated that sentience would have such a profound impact on the environment. You might try finding Existence for Dummies, but keep in mind, it's written at the 3rd grade level. Good luck, though.

The Universe as a whole is just about complete. They're still working on that division-by-zero bug that creates black holes, and the runaway-expansion problem (turned out someone misplaced a decimal point in a constant; it'll be fixed next build), but that's about it. The Universe itself is a balanced, well-written program, worthy of the deities and angels who wrote it.
What's causing all the problems is the Sentient Life Expansion Pack currently being developed; reports from the programmers are that they may have to recreate it from the ground up, using an entirely different system of impulses. Apparently, reusing the food-and-sex code from presentient life is causing more problems than the programmers can deal with, and the altruism code they had hoped to replace it with (currently being alpha-tested in white characters) is causing major instability problems.
There are a few other things in the works as well, such as fewer jews (they turned out to be very unbalancing to the game), an extended variety of natural disasters, more inhibiting factors to the growth of technology, and possibly a magic system. Work is slow, but it's getting there, and the game should be awesome when all the kinks are worked out.
I'll keep you posted.
