Actually, you may want to find the time to review a few of
those links. Quite revealing IMO. And Saddam's ties to
terrorists was just one part of the problem.
RE: the book review, "defend things rigidly" & "Sometimes
your posts bring this to my mind".....
Sorry, I don't defend things rigidly. One exception may be
facts & reality. I'm real big on that. In fact, I've
frequently stated on this thread that as facts & events
unfold, I'm willing to change my opinions rather
inflexibly stick to what may no longer be a valid POV. I
never have & never will stubbornly pledge my allegiance to
a politician or a political ideology. That's why I keep up
to date on credible, verifiable info related to issues
important to me.
I'm just a facts & credible evidence kind of guy. Always
have been, always will be. My history on SI certainly
supports this as accurate from my first post forward.
Searching for the truth often takes more time than most
folks are willing to invest. Unfortunately most folks
still boldly assert their version of reality without even
knowing most of the intimate details. I've noticed that
their assertions consistently were lock step with their
political ideology.
Bottom line, I got so tired of folks right here on SI,
journalists, major media outlets & politicians making all
manner of bold assertions that frequently conflicted with
each other & appeared to me to be at odds with the facts.
There had to be a way to sort the wheat from the chaff.
So I decided to research a number of major issues from
their origins & track them as time & events unfold.
That's how I am able to keep my facts straight. It also
allows me to provide folks with credible, verifiable info
that may stand in stark contrast to their assertions &
inflexible POV's.
If you think that is a bad thing, well you are entitled to
your opinion. I happen to think that obtaining factual,
reality based knowledge before you form your POV is a
great thing. |
