"So maybe you were wrong then, and wrong now.

There's no excuse for staying wrong. Ed
"

You implied that I never provided you with information about Al-Sadr. So, I gave you the links to that information. It seems you were wrong. I provided a great deal more information about Al-Sadr at the time for people who claimed the Al-Mahdi movement, and Al-Sadr's key role in that was a wild fantasy of mine. Now it is common knowledge.

Wrong about what Ed ... this?

"We are not in Iraq to conquer Iraq, we are there to continue the struggle against tyranny and for liberty, justice, and autonomous self rule for a people who've shown their overwhelming interest in that, which are the underpinnings of our great nation.

Liberty is founded upon the courage and hopes of a population who would choose to live free from the coercion of an oppressive regime. Courage and hope is based in faith but it doesn’t present itself within the constraints of tyranny or by the neglect of those who could lend support but wont. It must be encouraged, supported, and if need be fought for. "

How is that wrong?
