I said "you know it" because from our correspondence, you seemed to be the kind of person who would understand the merits of the argument in question.

I answered with my disagreement in my prior post. You certainly are entitled to your opinion and I respect it.

Aside from that, you say saving Iraqis from torture justified the invasion. However that was not the Bush argument. His argument for invasion was WMDs and that Iraq was a threat. It seems those "tons and tons" of WMDs are imaginary and obviously Iraq, who succumbed so quickly to the invasion, was no threat to a country it never even aggressed.

I answered with my opinions and you have not responded so I will assume that there is no disagreement other than the WMD justification argument. With respect to the PR of the war, I have stated that I would have handled it differently so I don't think we have a disagreement other than in degree.

Being a bottom line person, I'm very happy with the results and the elimination of one tyrant. I suspect that when the final history of this war is written, there will be historians that will document the case of WMD and, there will be those who will document that there were no WMD's.

It's very early in the process. In a year from now, let's see where the evidence lies.
