When you have a war you send someone else's child to war- even if the man or woman is over 18, unless they were produced by immaculate birth- and have no mother OR father, they are someone's child- does it bother you to think about it like that? And if you are prowar, you are for sending other people's children out to fight, kill, and die. It's a a good thing you want to challenge that- I think it shows a distaste for killing people's children- that's healthy, I guess- but they are people's children (regardless of age), and mothers, and fathers- and when you are prowar, you are for sending them to kill, and be killed. I don't happen to think most things are worth that kind of sacrifice- and Iraq certainly wasn't. I don't happen to think the documents are going to show my freedom was protected. I know they were wrong about WMD. I am pretty sure that if they had anything to save their butts on Iraq, in terms of proof, they'd be trotting it out- and they haven't. I am also pretty sure a more fundamentalist Iraqi state doesn't translate to anything good for the US, and I'm pretty sure that it's a big win for Iran- again, not good for the US. But it's nice to know you're very sure of the whole thing. I'll try to sleep better knowing you feel sure my freedom has been protected...but frankly, I'm not sure that's going to do it for me.
