1. You can not argue the fact that intelligence exists, which, in the interest of national security, we are not, nor should we be privy to.

2. We have plenty of support. 18 countries in Europe, Australia, and a majority of Asia could be considered support.

3. The U.N. is one organization we should not be listening to. The U.N. is so polluted with political maneuverings, it is impossible to get a clear, decisive call from them on any issue.

4. I never said you had a party affiliation. I claimed you took a party line hard stance. Whether or not that be for a specific party or because you are against one is irrelevant. I am merely stating that your argument that this is all about oil is cliche.

5. Your view of what has gone down in the past few months, IMO, is primarily from mainstream sources. Dig deeper, and you may or may not see it differently. What the United states presents publicly to the U.N. is utterly incomplete. You stated you would check the sources. I would recommend reading http://www.jaynadavis.com to everyone who at least wants to read both sides of the connections argument. She is a reporter and she has put together one hell of a case over the last decade.


As for North Korea, they are clearly a problem. I would hope we are preventing another North Korea from emerging with the removal of threat in the Middle East, not only in Iran, but in Iraq as well.

In addition, I don't swallow what the government tells me. I form my opinions by thinking through, and litening to all sides of the story from hundreds of sources. My opinions are formulated only after extensive reading and understanding of all the data that is readily available to me. By looking at not only that, but judging Saddam Hussein on historical patterns, I would bet everything on the fact that he is in fact a threat. Without being inside his head, that is the best anyone can do, be it right or wrong - Make a call and act on it.
