Well, shit, GWB had convictions regarding Iraq. Those turned out real great. Biggest fucking mistake in the history of our country. Convictions trumped reason, trumped logic, trumped evidence to the contrary.
I actually want to elect the person with the LEAST convictions. I don't want my president or any other person representing or governing me to be "religious" about ANY issue. That way I KNOW they'd research, study, listen, and learn before taking action. If the Bush administration had done ANY listening to ANY of the people who were telling them not to go into Iraq, our country's situation would be vastly better than it is today.
