C'mon you guys. Tell me where I'm wrong on this post. Be specific, I'm all ears. Show me the errors of my logic.

I agree with almost everything you say, I was just not clear enough. I supported going to Afganistan at the time, my bad. I would not do so today.

I disagree about Bagdad, as I had long before decided that the administration was lying. You may think that makes me a guckin' hypocrite, I think it confirms I was right at the time.

Did you really believe Powell's speech to the UN?

Think back.

I was not "pleased" when the bombs hit Baghdad. I fought so hard against the war (and the lies) that I felt the tragedy very deeply. I still can't believe we couldn't stop the madness ...

if we all admit it, we were rather pleased to watch the bombs fall in Baghdad those days before we learned the truth

Some of us knew the truth from the beginning, and some of us marched and some of us had kids marching. I wasn't at all pleasured.

I never advocated such a massive response to the 9/11 attacks .....

.......... No way!

I was glad that the 9/11 attacks brought widespread understanding to the serious abuses of the Taliban regime. But I didn't think that going after al-Qaida and uprooting the Taliban merited bombing Afghanistan back to the stone age.

Working through the Pakistan leadership to block the borders and use covert operations into Afghanistan was what was merited. That was it. Has anything even been accomplished in Afghanistan? Hasn't the poppy trade resumed with reckless abandon?

You may have been pleased. As far as I was concerned, those bombs fell on me too. I was vehemently opposed before during and now. It still makes me sick to think of it. To think of moms holding babies while bombs ceaselessly fell. Please don't bomb us, they begged beforehand. What an unimaginable horror to live through. What inhumane evil cretins bush and those other creeps are.
