Hmm.
I actually see more broadcasts on television about American who are against going to war than about those who support it. George Bush, his advisors, and others "in the know" about the ongoing dispute are in all truth representing a democratic country in which the majority, democratically, are against the possibility of war. But, considering that the principles that for so long were the foundation of democracy are now being tossed out for the supposed sake of the country, American citizens aren't sure of the exact motives which the U.S. gov't is employing in the current situation. Some say it's a war against Saddam's reign in Iraq, some says it's to prevent possible nuclear disaster, some says it's so that the U.S. can become a name in the Middle Eastern oil industry... it's just an undefined situation at the moment.
I personally am against war in general for the fundamental fact that it's a pathetic way to settle a dispute. Killing innocent lives so that a given side can gain what it seeks is in no way whatsoever fairly justifiable. There are several ways that the U.S. could come to terms with the Iraqi situation, but the government here is becoming more and more stubborn and caught up in the ongoing issues that it's losing sight of what the American people are believing, which by law is the supposed basis of reasonable action in a democratic state.
