[QUOTE=host]<h4>(An aside to thread participants who form their opinions based on the "facts",.....no amount of persuasion will influence those of the pro-Bush pro-war mindset that the invasion and occupation of Iraq were, at the least, deadly and wasteful, tactical deadends and costly mistakes, and at most, criminal acts. It may take the deaths of 58,000 American troops, (that is what it took to wake up the pro-war faction 30+ years ago......)
other peoples' kids.....to wake up Bush's delusional supporters, but the facts ain't gonna do it......)</h4>
Personally, i dont think this should be an "aside". That is the bottom line. Never has this country been so polarized by bush lovers and bush haters. As you said, facts dont matter.
One of my favorite expressions is this: Dont bother me with the facts, i know what i know.
I just pray to God that this wrong headed war doesnt cost Americans the loss of 57,000 men and women before cheney finally figures out it isnt worth it.
