I would prefer an exchange of ideas over the assassination of characters. In the recent past, the United States (myopically) supported and funded both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden in their efforts against American enemies, the consequence of which we have more recently endured. There is a presumption that these evil-doers would not have been so evil without us enabling them. I am concerned that the American government frequently acts without sufficiently thinking about the consequences. As for Bush et al lying, I don't see what their motivation was. Lying would be too transparent a transgression. On the other hand, I can accept that they were hasty and stupidly relied on poor intelligence, or merely the self-conditioned power of wishful thinking. There is also the presumption that if the Bush administration thought there were no WMD they would not have gone to war. What I want to know from the Right is what do you think happened to the WMD or the information about them that led Bush to wage war? And from the Left I want to know why you think the Bush administration lied and what they stood to gain from so doing? Thank you.
