The problem is that Anti-war folks make up roughly half the population or more depending on which survey you believe. So your statement that "only the anti-war folks are smart enough to know the truth about anything." represents roughly half the population maybe more.
The other problem with your statement (second paragraph) is that your argument is very valid for the War in Afghanistan. It was both an appropriate and effective response to the attacks against the World Trade Center. But the War in Iraq had little (given you some credit here) to nothing to so with terrorism. Iraq invaded Kuwait 10 years earlier. That was settled. But there was no more and probably much less evidence of Iraq supporting the Al Qeada, than there was of support from Syria, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Pakistan and a half dozen other countries in the region. And personally I believe Bush and his cronies at best mislead (probably out and out lied to) the American public with biased intelligence to justify his pre-emptive war in Iraq. If that is not the case then I question his ability to look at facts and come to a reasonable conclusion. Too many people and organizations questioned his administrations read of the evidence. -----Original Message----- From: Sam [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 01, 2005 2:12 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: REAL news from Iraq The only problem I see is when you tell the soldiers they're dying for no reason and expect them to understand they've been duped and only the anti-war folks are smart enough to know the truth about anything. You don't have to support the war and I respect you're views, but I support the war and am considered a Kool-Aid drinker too stupid to form my own thoughts. If a soldier believes in what he's doing you should respect his or her views. Maybe it was the shock of watching buildings collapse while my friends were in it, maybe it's being a Jew and knowing about history, maybe both but I sure as hell am glad this President rattled up the Islamo-fascist world rather than wait for them to rattle us again.
