>>>On this thread there are many who support Saddam staying in power and continuing to torture and murder the good people of Iraq. That should be unacceptable to any compassionate American.<<< If you were to poll everyone on this thread, I'm pretty sure you'd get a 100 percent opinion that everyone would want Saddam removed from power. Where we differ is on the means of how this is being accomplished. Why can't so many of you on the pro-war side of this debate realize this very important fact.

great post. Regarding: "I realize we're called the chosen people, but once in awhile, could you choose someone else?" I grew up in a neighborhood with lots of Jewish people and my dad had several bosses who were Jewish. I have never understood any of the stereotype claims or the hatred towards the Jewish people. The conspiracy theories are insane. Since there is no basis for any of that anti-Jewish bias, I wonder (theologically here) if that bias comes from pure evil itself. I really have not based my life on such a basic theological concept. I have always felt every culture has good and bad elements and I grew up in the American concept of tolerance. I am stunned by the lack of tolerance for the Jewish people. So maybe this is a test from God. Like I said I have not been a person in the religious right. However, from my core being I can clearly see the incredible dark hearts of the anti-Jewish groups. Having said that, I will try not to hate all Islamic people and hope all parties can find resolution to the issues.
