I'm a little tired of the overwhelming "equality" of the war propaganda noise around here. We had this conversation before, and I still say that opposing pov are healthy and natural. I would appreciate you being a bit more specific as to why you consider open support by millions of people, as well as respected posters on this thread for the war in Iraq "propaganda noise?" Many Americans, including thousands of voluntary military personnel from around the world believe that the very survival of western culture, and their way of life is at stake regardless of WHERE the WMDs are. I was on a Princess Cruise the day the war in Iraq began. Did you know that Princess Cruises is based out of England? There were hundreds of Brits on board. I had a chance to talk to a lot of them, and they overwhelmingly supported the efforts in Iraq, so it isn't just a few million American sheep following the lead sheep Win. Law enforcement agencies all over the world are arresting suspected terrorists. This isn't a little game of who can control oil, it is a life and death struggle. You don't seem willing to take that very real and legitimate perspective into consideration. BTW, if you decide to respond you don't need to reiterate your disdain for "rummy" as we are all very familiar with your opinion of the man and the administration he works for. Thanks! M
