You know, I can't say I'd lose much sleep over the death of Saddam and a regime change in Iraq, but it's immoral to infringe on another's sovereignty without showing that your actions are just and right, in other words give the world proof. Being the U.S. and with our military might we can pretty much run rough-shod over the rest of the world, while at the same time giving them the "finger" and there's not much anyone is going to do about it, but that doesn't make it right. It's about principle - a commodity very much lacking in politics these days.

...so that way we can disarm their arguments and point out their failing logic.

Well, I hope that can be done, so why don't you do it? Diogenes "rebuttal" certainly falls in the category of children yelling "Yes, you did!" "No, I didn't." A few specifics rebutting the points would be useful. And, of course, do not include points or pictures of the WTC--there is not one scintilla of evidence that Saddam was involved.

It's one thing for us to bluster on this board, but quite another to defend the proposed regime change to liberals while armed with no other reasoning than what I've seen.
