After a month of reading largely the same opinions from the same people (including me!), howzabout we try something different?

What would it take for you to switch your position on something involving Iraq? Use your imagination, and be as outlandish as necessary.

For example: I believe that we shouldn't have rushed into the war on the basis that Iraq had WMD. If we found a cavern with rows of scuds full of VX, I would concede that Bush was right and I was wrong.

Going the other way: I believe that it's good to have the Iraqi people have a chance for self-rule. If we leave in 2 years (or whatever) and a massive civil war breaks out that kills millions, then I would concede that self rule might not have been the best thing.

What are your opinions, and what would it take to change them? If your opinions can't be changed, well... perhaps there is another thread for you?
