the real facts

The constant of this sub-argument we're having revolves around facts versus spin. Reasons given versus ulterior motives. You cutting and pasting boring-ass student newspaper articles from November 2002 versus me suggesting that oil and money might play a factor. A FACTOR. I'd love to know the REAL FACTS about this war, Tony. The problem is that it's very hard to collect all those REAL FACTS, regardless of how many issues of CARNEGIE MELLON'S STUDENT NEWSPAPER I read. Here's that article summarized: Iraq has broken a bunch of UN resolutions, and Saddam is a jerk. Yeah, no shit. If that's the invasion lithmus test, then next up in the US World Invasion Tour 2003: Israel!

You are obviously opposed to the US being there, no matter whether it is for a good reason or not, are not flexible of mind, and willing to flame anyone holding a contrary opinion.

Actually, Tony, I'm cautiously in favor of the US getting rid of Saddam. It's obviously going to result in lots of Good(tm). I'm cautious because there are some other elements in play that I'm not down with, some of which you admit to with apathy (while simultaneously cursing the Swiss wartime profiteering, which started all this).
