Ted, re: Once again, and for the last time, the moral justification for the war is not what sold the Amer. public on this war but rather the trumped up fear of WMD and terrorist link ups. I can't believe that anyone seriously bought the "threat to the US" justification for the Iraq war. SH was always a danger to his own people, he was never a terrorist. And Iraq had been reduced to a backwater republic by the sanctions. We are far more threatened by domestic terrorists than we are by anyone from Iraq (in fact we always have been more threatend from within than from without). If you get a chance, pick up the current New Yorker magazine and read the "Letter from Iraq" column. It gives a good historical perspective on Iraq wrt oil, and what's up going forward. John

Once again, and for the last time, the moral justification for the war is not what sold the Amer. public on this war Once again I'm not talking about what sold the American public on this war. I am offended that you think we are stupid enough to sit here while you all change your story Once again, I am not Bush, nor am I a member of the Bush administration, nor am I in this post or in this conversation defending Bush. From the beginning my support for the war had many reasons, including the WMD threat but those reasons where not limited to the threat. I'm not changing my story. In fact what put my support for the war over the top was the thought that the war would cause less death and suffering then years more of Saddam + sanctions. Save it for your nephews and nieces Don't really talk to them much about politics. Most of them are too young. or your NRA meetings Never attended one but if I did presumably the meeting would be about resisting gun control and/or internal NRA business. The war in Iraq would probably be off topic. Tim
