"As for WMD's, I would bet that almost every state in the U.S. has as many WMD's as they've found in Iraq so far. Maybe somebody should invade us."

"You all seem to miss the entire point.

The US acted, after extensive UN resoulutions, because there was reason to believe that Iraq had WMD and other prohibited weapons... NOTE THE PROHIBITED!

The UN had passed resolutions forbidding Iraq to possess WMD- It has not made resolutions against the US, Russia, Israel, China, Korea, Pakistan, India etc... Why is it too much to think that the Left, which complained so much about the US acting "without" UN support, cannot bear to think that the US IS acting under previous UN guidence?

And where were all of you hypocrites between the last UN resolution and the US attack? I saw many protests againat the US- In most of Europe, and throughout the US. NOWHERE did I see a single protester asking that Saddam keep to the terms of the ceasefire, and follow the UN resoulutions that had already been passed- NOWHERE. It seems to me that you are saying that the policeman is not supposed to act, but it is ok for the criminal to continue illegal activites. "


Those who did not protest Saddam not complying with the UN resolutions ARE hypocrites- Not even a proclaimation by SRS, or Bobert, can make it any different. Someone who claims to want to prevent war who does not take the steps that would keep the war from happening, when they have the chance, is a hypocrite.



But of course, I am "dillusional" and "so damn full of it!", so none of you need to address anything that I might say. Fine. Go off and pat yourselves on the back for your vastly superior comprehension of the world.

Since I do not agree with the bigoted ( that means pre-determined, not based on evidence) opinions of SRS, I "must recuse (my)self from this thread now." Heaven forbid that anyone hear what I might have to say- you all know what you want to believe, and certainly want nothing to do with anything that might put your opinions in any risk of change. I certainly am glad that there exists such an open-minded group.

And SRS, you and Bobert "proclaims, proclaims and proclaims, offers no credible evidence yet, when presented with credible eveidence from his adversaries proclaims (yet again) that evidence is wrong..."

You have stated that I have been "disregarding the copious evidence presented by many of our scholarly Mudcatters, myself included.". Well, you yourself stated that any information from any source that a person disagrees with is not even worth looking at- so what evidence have you ever presented that meets your own standard? Feel free to be "scholarly"- but you might want to look for facts instead of opinion to base your comments on.
