Well, cannot resist. "..war is an inappropriate tool for winning hearts and minds" you say? Well, I think you're living in isolation. I am afraid enough hearts and minds are won already to re-elect the &^%(&(*)& dude. Millenia-old trick...

Hartunon,

 

I wasn't referring to the masses of Bush supporters on this side of the big water. However, I understand your implication. There is no doubt in my head that a number of people are seriously deluded about the conditions that exist in Iraq and unfortunately our President elect is one of them. I prefer to let my actions state my position rather than my words, but as usual I come here seeking some sort of balance in the opinions of those that do not hold my views. I am moderate compared to a lot of my friends. In fact I would be considered liberal compared to some people I know. The fact is that the war in Iraq cannot be won at this point by continuing down the path we are taking. I have heard some better men than myself claim otherwise, but in the end I think they are wrong and events will show that.

Kimmo,

 

No. Like a lot of people I did not really see the connection between 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq. I understand the strategic initiative and the compelling financial reasons behind it. Do I think it's been worth even one American's life? No. Was Saddam a threat? Maybe..who knows...did WMD exist? Probably, but the UN made it too easy for them to be disposed of before we could get our hands on them.

 

I went to Iraq because it was the right thing to do. I'm glad that I went there. I lost some friends there. Will I be going back at this point? I don't think so.
