Thread Name: BS: Why are you for the war?
Subject: RE: BS: Why are you for the war?
I was somewhat reluctantly in support of the PEOPLE who made the decision to go to war because I believe they are acting in good faith. I've been party to many decisions made by government officials, and I know that actions of much less import than war are usually made with much circumspection, and analyzed ad-infinitum from a thousand perspectives. The vast majority of people in this forum seem to filter their opinions through a lens that paints those government officials as the epitomy of evil. I see how shrill, petty and vicious they can be, and how angry they are now that the war hasn't gone as badly as they hoped.

If there was ever a chance for a peaceful solution, I believe it was flushed down the toilet when all the loud, obnoxious, speciously anti-war flag-burners convinced Saddam or others in his regime that we in the free world were not committed enough, not united enough, to force him to change.

So here's a fourth reason for being "for" the war. If you can call it "for" the war, I came to that conclusion because I saw what kind of people were "against" it.
