It's personal per se when you ask what I volunteer for. It's personal per se when you tell me what I think, and on top of that it's silly and personal, because you were wrong. I certainly would never say, and have never said, liberals are 100% correct or that conservatives are 100% wrong. You, on the other hand, were just saying the "main" difference between them was living on feet and dying on knees. So you don't actually believe that? I must say, I'm relieved to hear you were just using some rhetorical trick- although I'm not sure to what end.

The dichotomy between "yes, Saddam was a horrible person and the world is better off without him" and "the Iraqis were better off with him" simply cannot be reconciled logically or rationally. What is so irrational? Just because things were awful under Saddam does not give us the right to get rid of Saddam and make things worse for the Iraqi people. Many of us had the right intentions (including me - I didn't speak out against what we did - I may even had supported what we intended to do) but the results made things worse for all of us - Iraqi's and us.
