You are so RIGHT ON... There are degrees to which one should take scintilla's of truth and when it comes to men's lives and our COUNTRY.... it should not be shreds of evidence but firm,unequivocal evidence..

I think when you decide to gamble with other people's lives, when it isn't absolutely and evidently necessary, you are an abomination- in my book that's evil. Saddam was evil for starting wars he didn't have to start, and Bush is evil for starting a war he didn't have to start (and there are lots of other folks I could add to that list, folks who used their countries power to attack other countries, when they were not attacked first (or where another country was not attacked first). All evil.)

War is still a gamble, even when one is attacked, but at least when the invading army is on your lands, you know that resistance is imperative, and not just that you *might* be preempting at attack.
