No you're thinking for yourself instead of following the "popular opinion".

The only thing I can say about the Iraq war is that it was started for USA business interests to control the flow of oil from the Mid-east; Iraq has the second largest untapped oil reserves in the world, and the argument that we are interested in spreading democracy throughout the Mid-east and other parts of the world is specious. Also, I am convinced that US politicians do not want a way out of Iraq; they are building military bases at an increased pace, and simply want hegemony through out the world.And if you think we have democracy in America, you've got another thing coming. When was the last time you attempted to elect a viable alternative Presidential candidate? It's politics as usual in this country and the power brokers at the top decide which candidates-Democrats and Republicans both-will run for office, especially for President. This is not a democracy, folks; it's an oligarchy and the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting in debt. And when the politicos talk about acting in the national interest in international politics, you can be sure "interest" is spelled with a dollar sign.

No. Sheep follow others off cliffs. They don't bravely go against the rest of the world for what they thinks is right.
You, my dear sir, are a goat. . . as my mother would say, and that is a compliment.

Follow the yellow brick road. I'm reminded of the Old Philosopher who said: "He who follows in his father's footsteps end up standing behind him at the unemployment insurance office."

Its sick to support a lie that kills your fellow countrymen.
The so-called "war on terror" fought as the war on Iraq is taking place in a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. Iraq posed no threat to the United States except in the minds of those requiring and/or fabricating the reasons for war. Yes, , let us talk of the sickness then. A first strike, preventive war of choice is sick. Bombing a country through "Shock and Awe" because it was expedient to have access to our desperately needing its oil is sick. Adopting and using a policy of extreme rendition where the U.S. government sanctions and fosters the disappearance of people to nations where gross torture is allowed so that surrogates can do the dirty work for it is sick. Lying to Congress, the US people and the world in order to justify going to war is sick. Murdering complete Iraqi families by dropping 1,000 pound bombs on them is sick. Breaking the standard by which human decency is maintained, at least in part, during war, i.e., the Hague Conventions of 1889 and 1907, the Geneva Conventions of 1949, and the Nuremberg Conventions adopted by the United Nations December 11, 1945, is sick. Unloading hundreds of tons of depleted uranium is sick. Dropping cluster bombs is sick. Unexploded cluster bomb bomblets becoming land mines taking off children's limbs is sick. Killing as you would call them precious unborn fetuses by poisoning them with radioactive dust is sick. Our youth dying for the ruling elite and rich man's war for profit is sick. Let us reiterate once again, that going to war with Iraq had nothing to do with any threat from Iraq and it had nothing to do with 9-11. It had everything to do with lying about weapons of mass destruction, lying about aluminum tubes, lying about yellow-cake uranium, lying about mobile biological and chemical weapons labs, lying to the United Nations, lying to the world. That, , is sick. And, it is this sickness that you would project onto those who criticize you and the sickness of this regime. The fact that anyone else, or faction, or nation, may be sicker is not justification for excusing this regime's sickness.
The excessive inability of the Bush regime to face the reality of their behavior and solve the problems they created in their sick war of choice contributes to their psychosis. While Rumsfeld suppresses and rationalizes, intellectualizing the slaughtering of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and over thousands (a more likely death toll) of US troops, you find scapegoats within those who want to stop the insanity.
