Amsterdam: Just because the terrorists you mentioned were captured in Iraq does not necessarily mean they were "state-sponsored". We very likely have a few terrorists running around the US right now. It doesn't mean we support it. It would be difficult for me to believe that Saddam had better border controls than the US. Saddam was running a secular regime, not a theocracy. So its very doubtful he agreed with much of anything that al Queda had to say.

China: I don't think the verdict is in on China yet. China is changing very quickly. I think it would be better not to think of them as an enemy to be destroyed, so much as a large competitor for resources. China may surprise us will their willingness to compete in the marketplace rather than on a battlefield.

I'm just not a big fan of invading people and kicking their ass, even if we can. We don't have a very good track record in the nation-building game. And I don't think our freedom has to come at the expense of everyone else's.

dboy Reviewed by dboy on . Political Hypocrisy This is just something I've been thinking about lately and thought I would share it. By no means do I mean to insult anyone or their opinions. Also, I would like to note that I am an ardent opponent of the Bush administration and the war in Iraq, and I really don't identify with or trust any political parties. Anyway, I am irritated by the reasons so many people give for opposing the war in Iraq. Our government is often pressured into using our military for humanitarian reasons, just look Rating: 5
