I don't believe that if you actually sat and THOUGHT, you'd conclude that the Iraq war is a good use of American resources. I think you're smarter than that, and you're blinded by partisanship and are therefore unwilling to think. Fortunately, not all Republicans are so afflicted, and MANY are coming around.

Please stop telling me I'm not thinking because I don't think like you do. This isn't some 9/11 thing where someone ignores physics to justify their take that it had to be an inside job or that a plane didn't hit the pentagon. This is me and you taking the same data, same 'science' and coming to difference conclusions.
I am not parroting anything the administration is saying, said, or will say, as I have no idea what they are currently saying. I pretty much gave up on day to day politics before the 2004 election as if I continued down that path I'd have started to vote from the rooftops. Being angry over what no one here has any effect over is stupid and part of why I left tfp to start with.
I THINK, yes THINK, using this head with a well above average IQ and 30 solid years of the best education available (do you get the point that I'm thinking, and using my brain, and not just one half but both halves, in a combined whole) that the war in Iraq is worth the cost. I don't care what the motivations of Bush, the 'real' 9/11 terrorists, or illuminati, or the NWO are. I think, thats ME, the guy who goes by the name USTWO on tfp, the guy host thinks is an agent of the the shadow government out to get you all, right here, typing this now that the cost of the war is justified.
You, unlike many on tfp, are old enough to have real memories of the cold war. Do you remember that climate? The concept that what was holding war back was not in that we could protect ourselves but that we could hurt them just as bad?
Now I want YOU to think, to stop accusing me of not thinking because I do not view the world as you do. YOU think for a moment and now think of a cold war where instead of the Russians, a people not to far from our own in thought and action, the soviet system aside, people who see no value in dying needlessly for a cause, we have Islamic fundamentalists. Think of THEM with the ICBM's but unlike the last cold war, these are in the hands of people who view their own citizens deaths as just a glorious martyrdom and ours as filthy infidels who need to die for the global Ummah.
This is a game of supremacy. The problem is you don't know when you win, only if you lose. I THINK the invasion of Iraq has helped, I THINK Iran should be bombed instead of strong words being given.
I THINK its time for me to go out and have a nice lunch of sushi.
There is even a lesson in that, if you look deep enough.
