"You really are a waste of time, not to mention space." I don't think that highly of you. Now keep your promise and quit posting to me. Unless of course you forgot, in which case I'm reminding you.

Maybe it's that the method being used is devoid of reason and more likely to bring greater danger and instability to the world than not. Maybe it's that the way the decision was made to market for popular support with extremely lame and transparent presentation. Maybe violent death to our soldiers, Iraqi civilians and Iraqi soldiers as a matter of choice not necessity is rightly repulsive to some people. Maybe sending loved ones...sons, daughters, husbands, wives, brothers, sisters...into a situation where they become killers of others' loved ones as a matter of PNAC's choice is rightly repulsive to some people. There's enough reasons to oppose this war without even considering anything resembling a sympathetic stance toward saddam.

It is possible to see this mission to take over Iraq as a terrible step for the US, as a step that will put us in very real danger, as a step that puts us in much more danger that waiting for a coalition would have put us in. It is possible to love the US and hate Saddam and what he has done, and still see this as a really horrible foreign policy move. If things turn out very badly for the US, people who see it the way I do will have been right, and you will have been wrong. You don't need to call people names simply because they have a different view of foreign policy. I don't think anyone here supports Saddam, and it makes you look rather silly (imo) to keep saying that. of course it isn't just you- anyone who says that is very, very silly. imo
