how is that any different than you arguing a case before the bench when you're not sure of the outcome?
You will use all means you deem necessary to prove your point. Isn't that human nature?


Wrong. You can't speculate in court. You can't use "maybe", "might", or "perhaps." You can only use hard facts.

People may interpret the same facts differently, or have different opinions as to the facts, but they must believe what they're saying to be factually accurate.

Bush and company did exactly this.

Yes, we agree on this. They used "may", "maybe", "might", "perhaps", and other speculation, but they presented it as hard, cold facts sufficient to garner support for something new in American history, attacking a country that had never attacked us and wasn't attacking anybody else at the time.

I don't think we'll have another pre-emptive war any time soon, if ever. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.
