RE “ But here are the facts, stark as they are: During his vicious 20-year reign, Saddam Hussein — remember him? — killed an estimated 5% of Iraq’s population. That works out to about 5,000 people a month slaughtered by the regime.You might disagree that Bush was right to depose this murderous thug. But in doing so, you would then have to defend the deaths of thousands of innocents”

LOL. Nice try. the problem was GWB didnt sell the public on a humanitarian mission, he sold them on WMDs and “Mushroom Clouds” . But let's play your game. If Iraq was so critical to something, than why didnt GWB enact an Iraq tax? All you Neo-cons would have been glad to pay more taxes to save all those lives (or whatever). But No! Your moral outrage went more like “This war is critical, but I am not paying for it. I want a tax cut. Let someone elses kids pay for it. But I get to take moral credit for supporting it. A true Great American who cares!” . GWB didnt fund the Iraq war with an Iraq tax because he would have lost the election in 2004. Moral my a...

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner!

I supported the war with Iraq as a high-school student in 2002 and 2003 on the grounds that Iraq's government was developing "weapons of mass destruction," or WMDs, in violation of U.N. resolutions to which the U.S. was a party.

Of course, after the aforementioned WMDs were not found (aside from a stock of yellowcake uranium), the Bush administration and the hawks changed their tune and said that we were in Iraq for humanitarian and "national security" purposes. [Any time a government official plays the "national security" card, chances are good that they just don't want to tell you the real reasons and that they think you'll believe their horse puckey.]

But let's play your game.

This is no game as far as I'm concerned.

I'm sincerely trying to help you overcome your obsession. But you need to want to. I can't help you unless you're willing to help yourself.

I extend the the same helping hand to any friends you have who share your affliction.

Not true. Pres. Bush laid down a line in the sand for Saddam Hussein which was to comply with the U.N. resolutions. He didn't comly and Bush did as promised.
