I follow you, Dave, but I don't think those are the real reasons behind the war at all. That's cos I don't trust or believe the US government's spokesmen when they give supposed reasons for their actions, and maybe you do trust and believe them. If so, that is where we differ.

Don - Thanks. :-) I am actually neither a liberal nor a conservative, I'm a radical (for lack of a better word). I believe in freedom, coupled with individual & collective responsibility, and I see both liberals and conservatives attacking those concepts on a regular basis (although they would claim otherwise).

Every society is a tricky dance between freedom and responsibility. Those who can dance harmoniously can achieve a great deal.
