Jacob - if you can find a quote from President Bush saying that Iraq's WMD pose an imminent threat to the US, I will donate $100 to your favorite charity. Caveat, it has to be a real charity, one that qualifies for an IRS tax deduction. I need a few more tax deductions this year, so no skin off my nose either way. My favorite charities are Salvation Army and Catholic Charities, they'll get the $100 if you can't produce. I propose that we let Faultline be the judge as to whether you actually found such a quote. I don't promise to agree with Faultline but I do promise to comply with his ruling.

"We are humanitarian imperialists, Bearing the White Man's Burden. That's why we did it." Since well before the Iraq invasion, probably around Nov 2001, I thought this was a good reason for invading Iraq since I thought the US's and every one else's problem with Iraq was the nature of the Iraq regime. In fact I argued against WMD's as primary reason. I still think the weapons were and probably still are there, or moved somewhere but I still think as I did long before the invasion that WMDs were not the best reason to invade. Is anyone else having problems posting longish things here?
