If that's the case then you should dispise Bush for both the iraq war (idiocy at best and lying at worst) and the Patriot Act (removal of individual freedom), but you defend him. Every time.
If you think the war was idiocy at best, then you don't understand international relations or national security even a little bit. One can certainly argue that several things could have been done better, but the war itself was an almost obligatory second step after Afghanistan, for a whole lot of reasons that have nothing at all to do with Iraq or Saddam or WMD.

i'm sorry sage, but I have to disagree. when we say "do this or else" we really don't mean it. we should have stood there waving and whining at them instead.
also, we should pull out our troops now. i mean, sure we'll create a lot of instability, and show what happens if we take a lot of casulties to the world, but if you ignore what will happen as a ramification, it seems like a good idea.
you are just a war-mongering.... uh.. war-monger
i'm going to ignore you and listen to mr maradon. he's smart and knows more about war than you.

A whole lot of unexplained reasons that hundreds of thousands of people have apparenly been unable to figure out as well!

There are millions of people in the world who can't read, too. There are millions of people in the world who can't do algebra. Does that mean those things don't exist, simply because lots of people don't understand them?
What makes you think you're either smarter or more qualified to make the decision than the people who did so?

It's fairly obvious for anyone with a clue on foreign policy in general. Whether it was implemented properly can be debated, but the decision itself was far from idiotic. And, one will note, the decision had bipartisan support at the time--the reversal now is purely positioning for the future.

And there are hundreds of thousands of people, who, even if given that explanation will denounce it as bullshit, propaganda or other such things. Some people simply refused to be informed, especially if the information provided doesn't square with their chosen worldview.
Lots of folks are so locked into a reflexive "war is bad, Bush is bad, America is bad" mindset that should you attempt to explain differently you're likely to be labelled a blood-thirsty, warmongering apologist for the criminal Bush regime and it's army of torturers and murderers invaded a peaceful, happy Iraq.

There are many people whose opinions I respect on politics, such as Mod's and Zaza's, but a man who thinks the word "Snuggletits" is comic gold is not one of them.
PS: If you say Snuggletits again, even in quotations, you're banned.
It's not something people hear about.
Jensus - Ugh, cut from the mold of Sean, but not nearly as smart. Chaotic Evil.
Manitcore - Some people don't like you, I'm not entirely sure why, I haven't read many of your posts. Neutral.
Mooj - Perhaps one of the more reasonable ECer's that I have seen. Nobody seems to dislike you, and you don't seem to dislike anybody. Lawful Good.
DrPaintThinner - have seen your nick, but I don't remember anything you wrote. Neutral
Zephyr - A mild mannered sort, long time member, fairly friendly. Chaotic Good.
Batty - Like CBTao you are also someone I wouldn't want to be around. Way too negative. Neutral Evil.
Sakkra - Your kinda tough, I think you're friendly, but once in a while you can get wicked. I blame it on bad influences. Neutral.
Ruvyen - I'm researching posts to see if I'm thinking of the right person. I believe you were reviled at one time, but seem to have been redeemed in a way? Not sure about it at all. Neutral.
Edit: Forgot about Gork - Long time member, but I don't know your posts well. Seems like a decent person tho. Neutral Good. Emil fucked around with this message on 11-19-2005 at 08:52 PM.

Given that we're the people that put them into office to make those decisions, I find this statement a bit disturbing.
Honest and accurate, but disturbing.

Ozzy: Gone and we're better for not having to listen to "Cthulhu lol." Neutral Stupid.
Beta: One of those shithead teens that learned they didn't know everything when their "one true love forever and ever" dumped them. Chaotic Loser.
UBT: Okay dude. Neutral in the Pooper.
Fae: Lost all friends he ever has, has one motherfucking ugly kid, is probably a pedophile, everyone hates him and hopes he dies and likely does all kinds of drugs. Lawful Shithead.
Cadga: Deceased.
Addy: She was always mean, she just covered it up well. She routinely hits people just to see them cry 
Trent: Same thing, except he pinches people.
Beaukat: People give her a lot of flak for showing her ass because it looked like a pig in a noose. I'm all for attractive women showing body parts, but part of the glory of hypocrisy is that you can have double standards for everything so ugly people stay in their place. We'd throw the same fit if Sean showed his ass, too.
Nike: It's pretty obvious that you're desperate for cyber-nookie at this point, but it's also pretty obvious that Nike didn't get in trouble for having opinions so much as sharing said opinions in a profoundly stupid way.
Lemmy: See Nike. You're very desperate.

Do you choose a surgeon because you could do it yourself, or because he's an expert in his field and you're prepared to defer to his judgement?
It's the same with the people who lead nations. Not only do they have access to information that can't be shared with everyone, they also have to do things for reasons not everyone will understand. Yet because they're elected, they have to package the decisions in a way that makes sense and builds support, even if the public reasons aren't the compelling ones.
