This is meant to promote serious political discussion?

You Liberals call yourselves stewards of the unprotected and unfortuante, where is your compassion for the Iraqi's that have been to hell and back under that maniac Saddam? Saddam was responsible for the deaths of nearly 2 million people, the world is a better place with him gone. Further more everyone should be thankful that the death rate of American/ British soldiers has been this low.

I see, so it's about saving the poor Iraqis now? I thought it was about finding "Weapons of Mass Destruction" because Saddam Hussein posed
real and imminent danger to the United States and our interests?
I don't know what's more disturbing to me: the fact that our reasons for going to war in the first place were a sham, or that so many people are willing to pull wool over their own eyes to convince themselves that what we did was justified.
I don't think that Saddam Hussein was a good man. I don't, however, think we -- nor the Iraqis -- are currently any better off than a few months ago. The invasion was premature, unbelievably expensive, and motivated by goals that are entirely contrary than that which was stated. President Bush has been riding the wave of FUD (
Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) since the tragedy of 9/11 to further his own agenda. His stated reason for starting this war is clearly another facet of that.
This pandering to the fears of the general public is what I object to. The state of Iraq right now (very bad) is what I object to. The state of our economy and the record budget deficit is what I object to.
Don't try to tell me that it's about helping the poor Iraqi's. Because that's
not what it was about then. If any good comes out of this in the end, I will be happy for that. But so far the price has been steep and the rewards negligible. I feel very strongly that we have been misled in the worst kind of way.
