Tough choice, one I hope never to have to make. However...
"Those who are willing to sacrifice liberty for security, deserve neither liberty nor security."
Is life so sacred that there is no cause worth dying for? As long as my loved ones are around me, everything else be damned? I'm not so sure.

It's an easy choice for me. Life without liberty is life not worth living.

Bush attacked Iraq on the same rhetorical Presumed Threat as Nazi leaders claimed.

Hitler's Soviet Spy Chief Reinhard Gehlen spun the intelligence as Bush did, then later developed our Cold War Policies.

Benjamin B. Ferencz on Terrorism

One cannot try an idea, nor can it be killed by a gun. An idea must be replaced by a better idea. We must stop glorifying killing "the enemy" and replace the existing war-ethic with a new "peace-ethic."All must learn that law is better than war. The International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg held that aggressive war is the "supreme international crime." That was affirmed by the United Nations and upheld in many legal decisions. Nazi leaders argued that they acted only in self-defense against a presumed attack by the Soviet Union. Their justification for mass murder was rejected and responsible leaders were hanged after a fair trial. Who is to try those who continue to use such invalid and deceptive justifications for sending young persons and countless civilians to their death? --

This is from a Nurembeg Trials prosecuter

BENJAMIN FERENCZ
Ferencz was a prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials for Nazi war crimes after World War II and is available for a limited number of interviews. He said today: "It's a sad commentary when the president of the United States has apparently no knowledge or concern for international law. We said at Nuremberg that we would be bound by laws -- that they would apply equally to all. But it's a violation of international law to go to war without the approval of the [U.N.] Security Council when you are not under armed attack. The U.S. has violated that in its attack on Iraq, as well as other times. The Bush administration has repudiated the International Criminal Court, when over 90 nations want to carry on the legacy of the Nuremberg tribunals, but the administration is trying to cripple it in its cradle."

HERE IS A KISS FOR YOU FROM THE ONE AND ONLY!

Mohammed Saeed Al-Sahaf (Baghdad Bob)

"Do not be hasty because your disappointment will be huge," al-Sahaf is quoted as saying in early 2003. "You will reap nothing from this aggressive war, which you launched on Iraq, except for disgrace and defeat." "We will embroil them, confuse them, and keep them in the quagmire," he said later, adding that "they cannot just enter a country of 26 million people and lay besiege to them! They are the ones who will find themselves under siege."
