First and foremost, for people "in the know" the war was originally proposed to find and destroy weapons of mass destruction, right? Correct me if I am wrong on that one.
Nowadays, that little spiel has pretty much gone out the window. No more pretense, we are there to kill Saddam. Donald Rumsfeld has said as of yet, they have found NO evidence of WMD and they have yet to fire a SCUD missile. The chemical suits are hardly anything substantial. Why should they not have protective gear?
The funny thing is, most people have blindly shifted their focus right along with Bush, as if it is a-ok. Do you not see the smoke and mirrors?
No one is arguing that Saddam is a horrible dictator, guilty of terrorizing his own people. But don't sit on my TV and try to say that we are going to war to find and destroy WMD, when you KNOW it is to soley to find and kill someone. When they find any kind of chemical weapon or WMD, I will concede that this war was a necessary evil. Until then, I call it LIES.
As for Dionysus statement about humility, I didn't take it to mean that Americans should die or we should have another 9/11. I took it to mean that we will have some serious egg on our faces if this war is over and there are no WMD/biological weapons.
