f the president finds [as he did, correctly] that a war against Iraq will assist in protecting us against mideastern terrorists, then he damn well has an obligation to take us to war. Oops..we're back to the part of the case that is now beginning to fall apart..(you know, cooked up intelligence). Hey, but I thought the war was about human rights...well, if it is, I have to tell you that 2 Million people have been killed in the Congo in the last two years alone. Al

talk about being corrupted? He doesn't care how many die so long as the goals of his ideology are accomplished. Nobody said anything remotely like that. But NOBODY WANTS TO GO TO WAR. If a president deems it necessary to go to war it is his responsibility to make the case. And according to you, misrepresenting the facts is acceptable. Bush made the case. On what at this point appears to be false info. It is his job to emphasize those points he feels are important, and de-emphasize those he feels don't support his case. You're deluding yourself. That was not the situation at all. For an example, Bush did not emphasize the part where Saddam bought uranium at the expense of the part where the uranium was to be used for a nuc. reactor. Instead, it was Bush saying in his State of the Union that Saddam had bought uranium for his WMD. His administration did not say that Saddam may have WMD; they said definitively that he did have them. If the president finds [as he did, correctly] that a war against Iraq will assist in protecting us against mideastern terrorists, then he damn well has an obligation to take us to war. Unfortunately, Bush didn't even get that one right. Terrorism continues unabated. Whether the American people comprehend the scale of what is happening or not, he has to do that. Bullshit! Its my money, its American lives at stake, its my country! Bush serves at my and my fellow Americans' pleasure. Get over your elitism. You are one of the most simple-minded people I can think of. And you are a sadly mislead person that apparently has little experience outside his narrow little world.
