Funny that you should second the idea that we, "the masses" are simply brainwashed and convinced... with THIS gem of a reply.

Hell, at least 89 writes an entire post to support his misguided views,... you just go right ahead and prove your ignorance with hypocrisy.

I first clicked on this thread hoping to understand the other side of the argument, instead I read a website full of absurd hypocritical propoganda and learned why all the people i know hate fanaticle liberals (with exception to Phax, whos arguments contained a rational clearly absent from other replies). Anybody who belives that you can equate bush to hitler has the liberal stick firmly planted 3 feet up their a** and is loving every minute of it.

I was called a "conservative jingoist flag thumper" earlier in this thread, i wasnt before but god-damnit i am now. I'll wave the red white and blue until you pry it from my cold lifeless hand. Through thick and thin, right and wrong, i will support the United States of America and my brave countrymen fighting the good fight in iraq. If another country invades ours because of our actions, i will fight to the death defending it, all of you who arnt with me can go run to canada and pretend you were never american.

Im going to make a website called "www.The fanaticly liberal conspiracy theorist who blames the world's problems on bush.com" to continue the rest of my political opinions that have no place on NICO.

Have a good day

See I love political argument, we're exercising an important aspect of being American- the right of speech and the right to disagree.

I don't think anyone really wants to go "gloves-off" but it's almost inevitable for political discussions to degrade into mudslinging contests. Why do we all have to be so mean-spirited when it comes to politics? Afterall, the goal of discussion is to interchange a civil, reasonable discourse.

That said, I love my country with every ounce of my being and I've dutifully served my country in times of war.

I also love my wife and like two mature adults, we point out eachothers' faults and are constructively critical when needed. That's the same love I have for my country. Some will denounce my criticism as being un-American, but so be it.


What does this have to do with anything? I think you kind of went on a tangent there....

Who's the puppet... you're ignorant enough to believe that you're not. Open YOUR eyes and maybe you'll see the carrot on a string that leads your easily influenced melon.

The simple truth: Iraq was not an imminent threat to US security.

What bush apologists never consider is motive. What would SH have to gain by sparking an unwinnable war with a superpower?

bush apologists constantly confuse Islamic fundamentalism and the secular state of Iraq. A misconception that bush was only too happy to let fester.

What were bush's motives? Poll numbers? 300 billion barrels of the most profitable oil on earth? Personal sores to settle? A move to take pressure off of Israel? The humanitarian plight in Iraq was never mentioned by the "we are not the world's policeman" crowd for 20 years until bush began trying to excuse (confuse is probably more accurate) his WMD miscalculation AFTER the invasion.

Fred wrote a great article about the realities of biological and chemical weapon production a few months back. Fact is that to produce anthrax only takes about $5k worth of gear and any decent university lab has the equipment. The anthrax attacks that occured 2 years ago are proof that one doesn't need to be furnished with the resources of a nation state to cause havoc.

bush's whole rationale for invading Iraq was and is a red herring.
