Any reason for religious genocide is stupid. The Shiites and Suni have been at ends with each other since the inception of Islam.

I actually have alot of respect for the President. Not because he's my boss...but because he's not reckless. For example, when the Twin Towers fell in New York back in 2001, President Bush had one option.....glassing the desert. He could have ordered a retaliative nuclear strike. The simple fact that we aren't using nukes shows a great deal of restraint on his, and the generals', parts.

DY brought up the WMD mess from a few years ago.....another one of Bush's problems. The thing is, he was given evidence that they had WMD's. We started a search almost 2-3 weeks later after getting clearance. The file with the original evidence is so classified, it's not funny. Why? Is it because there is no evidence? If that was the case, the clearance to search would never have passed the UN. I do know that Palastine and Iran both had an increase in their arms stocks within that month. What, more likely than the President performing a horrid act like staging a war-worthy act on an innocent people(lead by a despot who developed and USED bio-chemical warfare on his own people, I might add), is they sold their WMD's. *shrugs*

I will admit, I have my own misgivings with our president, but him being reckless isn't one of them. My wife and I talk about this alot, especially since I'm planning on going carreer. She hates the war as much as both of you do. But even she says we should still be there, because of the problems that will happen if we pull out.

After all, Evil will always succeed when good men do nothing. I know, cliche, but it is true. Sudam needed to be stopped back in the 90's. If we had done that then, we most likely would not still be having issues there, nor would they have escalated to the problems they became. If the President said there were WMD's, it was because he was told that. Whether or not the intel was fabricated, who knows. Being there, talking to the people I talk to...I say they actually had the weapons.

I know, people will believe what they want. I don't hold it against them. I'm not upset at DY for thinking what he does, at all. Alot of people feel that way. But, in the end, because someone thinks that someone lied, doesn't mean that they did.
