I have looked at some of the facts and I disagree. Tom Friedman has looked at the facts and he disagrees (not with the war but the administrations rationalization for the war). So what is obvious to you is not obvious to others. We are not stupid. Some of us have less partisan attitudes than you do about this issue (I may not be one of them; I hate Bush and his people. They are people with enormous privledge who view their privledge and proof of their moral superioty instead of luck and influence. They are willing to sell the interests of the people they are supposed to represent secure in the knowledge that when they leave government "service" they can personally reap the rewards of their actions. It is an old boys club writ on a global scale. Their moral values have begun to stifle research in this county. Stem cell scientists are leaving to go where they can do their work unfettered by moralistic crap. They are infringing on personal liberty in ways that are both unnecessary and dangerous. They are wrecking our economy. Even if you accept the war you must accept that it will cost a huge amount of money. And yet we have a huge tax cut. This is unbelievably irresponsible.
