It's statements like that which make others unwilling to provide you with a different perspective.
And it's attitudes like yours that are prevalent in Congress (on both sides), to the benefit of no one.
There are some very good, intelligent people who have cogent arguments for our involvement in Iraq. It is unlikely any of them will be interested in talking to you about them, unless they like hearing the equivalent of the old, "Only things from Texas are steers and queers. Which one are you, boy?"
