No one is trying to make anyone feel stupid. I mean, if that happens as a consequence of being exposed to the truth, well...

It comes down to this for me on Iraq: good things are happening there that would not have happened without the American public being lied to. It's that simple.

No liberal I know is sad about the pleasant changes being made in Iraq. We're just upset that we were lied to in order for that change to occur. And apparently we're the only ones upset over this, leaving be to believe that lies are ok with conservatives.

I really would've supported the president had he said first, "We're going in to stop this brutal dictator from killing his own people and to spread democracy." And at the end of that, I would've suggested that our military make a few stops around the globe on the way back, if that was in fact the rationale for war.

Instead, we went to war under false pretenses that still don't add up, regardless of the outcome. I think that's dangerous.
