No, that is not what I am saying. Some things are unimportant- relatively speaking. However, when the "intelligence" goes to justify a war, then We the People have a right to know WHY we went to war. The sons and daughters of Americans go to war- their mothers and fathers have a right to know why they die, or are wounded. War is an issue of such gravity I think it demands solid and bona fide proofs. If you are willing to send your children out to die, based on the promises of your government that they have a good (yet secret, or perhaps not yet ascertained)reason, go ahead- but I am not willing to, that is NOT adequate government representation, and I think most Americans would like to have proof. That is what I am saying. Of course many Americans believed our government did have proof- they will be very angry if none is found - I predict.
