And even more not so wonderful, side effects:

"Powell deals Syria new warning"
http://news.bbc.co.uk/ticker/ticker.rhs.stm
[Edit: Powell said,] "We have designated Syria for years as a state that
sponsors terrorism, and we have discussed this with the Syrians on many
occasions."

Why change regime?
Among Americans who approve of the war in Iraq, disarmament is listed by 86
percent as a 'major' reason to oust Saddam Hussein. But high percentages
also see other reasons as major:
Reason/Percent
Disarmament of Iraq 86 [edit: of what?]
Iraq's ties to groups like Al Qaeda 80 [edit: come again?]
Regime change 79 [edit: why?]
Liberation of Iraq 74 [edit: why us?]
Iraq poses an imminent threat to U.S. interests 72 [edit: oil?]
Iraq poses a threat to US-friendly Arab nations 66 [edit: more specifics
please]
Iraq poses a threat to Israel 55 [edit: and this is our problem why?]

"US troops' anguish: Killing outmatched foes"
http://www.csmonitor.com/2003/0411/p03s01-woiq.html
"So lethal was the past week's barrage of artillery - using rockets and
missiles designed to demolish everything within a "grid square" (one square
kilometer) - that it left Lt. John Harrell of the 3rd Infantry Division's
1-39 Artillery Battalion with virtually nothing else to attack."
"But before that, officers stress, the soldiers must have time to
decompress. 'The reality is, we've got a bunch of steely-eyed killers that
have destroyed all the enemy forces they've come into contact with,' worries
Radcliffe. 'The switch is on right now, and you can't just turn it off.'"
[edit: Great! Send them to D.C. where they can continue to "do some good."]

I ask you: where is god in all of this evil? Hey, it's Sunday -- you have
nothing better to think about, right?
