We've beat this Iraqi thing to death. So let's take one last swing.
I think it would be interesting to see in a simple format reasons either for or against. To save electrons dispense with "No one really wants war. . . " and the such. I will assume we are rational humans who detest the wanton take of human life.

I think war is appropriate because
--WTC I was an Iraqi hit
--OKC bombing was an Iraqi hit
--TWA 800 was an Iraqi hit
--Embassy bombing were carried out with Iraqi material support
--WTC II was carried out with Iraqi material support
--Iraq is a center of gravity in the Islamofascist terror movement against the US.
--Iraq has strong ties to Al Qaedo.
--Iraq's development of WMD and its ties to AQ make preemption valid self defense.

--Iraqi refusal to disarm per UN instructions is irrelevant to our move to war.
--The need for someone in the UN to exercise force is irrelevant.
--The US needs no country's permission to protect itself and its population.
--Sadaam is evil and needs to be removed--irrelevant
--We need to liberate the people of Iraq--irrelevant

In short my agreement on the appropriateness of war with Iraq is based only on what Iraq did to the US. Any other reason is irrelevant.

Swing away.

After you say this:We've beat this Iraqi thing to death. So let's take one last swing.Then you say this:In short my agreement on the appropriateness of war with Iraq is based only on what Iraq did to the US. Any other reason is irrelevant.And you want me to take you seriously...? :rolleyes:
