No deal.

By the sound of this statement, CarolC, is looks as if you have a strong opinion and, in fact, pretty much have made up your mind about a lot of things. Just because you haven't thought about some things in depth doesn't mean that other people haven't. Don't think for me and I won't tell you how wrong you are.

I do have some very strong opinions (based on information I have been able to find on various issues) about a lot of things, including the legitimacy (or lack of legitimacy) of the US invasion and occupation of Iraq, the real motives behind the Bush administration's invasion and occupation of Iraq, and the astoundingly inept and counterproductive way that the Bush administration as prosecuted the "war", including its flagrant disregard for the human rights of the civilians in Iraq. I even have opinions on how the Bush adminisration ought to do some things if it continues its occupation of Iraq.

But I do not yet have a fully formed opinion on whether or not the US should continue to occupy Iraq.
