Boyd,
Why do you still have the question? Even though your question is
kinda two-pronged (1. whether Iraq was a credible threat; 2.
whether the war was a legitimate response), since #2 is dependent
on #1 it seems to again go back to the credible threat issue. If
it were a credible threat, ample evidence would have to be
obvious; kinda like in trial where the charged is innocent until
proven (with good evidence) guilty. If the charge is not proven,
the case is not said to be "still in question." If the charge is
not proven, the case is said to be "over", "closed", the charge
"false", the defendant "not guilty", the question "answered", and
no response is necessary.

{American jurors have complete Constitutional authority to vote
"not guilty" based on nothing more than a disagreement with the
case, no matter the evidence - despite the judge's instructions.
There is absolutely no obligation to vote "guilty" to arrive at a
unanimous verdict. Get on a jury, stand your ground, and fulfill
its other main purpose: to counteract abusive government and
unjust lawsuits.

Rep. Paul has made a logical and thoughtful argument against what
he believes to be an initiation of aggression in Iraq. His
stance is principled. The only question to me is whether or not
the conflict in Iraq is a case of legitimate reaction to a
credible threat of aggression or not. No one has been able to
make a clear cut case in either direction.
