Newsweek's postconvention poll: 42 percent of Americans still believe that Saddam "was directly involved" in the Sept. 11 attacks. What stuns me is 42% of Americans STILL think Saddam was behind 9/11! That has to be 84% of the 50% of Americans that support Bush. It seems to me that we need to be walking around, asking people if they believe Saddam was behind 9/11, and if they answer yes - grab them and shake them and force them to consider the evidence! A MASSIVE education effort is needed. Then ask them why we are in Iraq. Sometimes you just want to throw up your hands and move to a less stupid country...

I find it interesting to debate people who disagree with me. I don't understand people who seem to need a safe echo chamber. I think it may be a sign of intellectual weakness or at least weakly rooted beliefs. By engaging people who disagree with me, I hope to show that their beliefs are mistaken and mine are more correct. If not to the public posters on the thread, perhaps to the lurkers, some of whom may be in the formative stages of forming their opinions. loser..stupid..ignorant.. To the childish name calling is comforting. But I don't think it convinces anyone of anything.
