Mary -

I'm happy to discuss this stuff, but I don't think it needs to get personal. I thought that we had sorted through that stuff after things got ugly the last time. I hope that can still be the case.

Now, because I disagree with the war...I'm a basher of America and all it stands for? How exactly does that work? Should I just shut my trap and believe everything I hear? Is that what it takes to be a patriot these days? Is this the new political correctness?

I think you are failing to take into account international law. Since the search for WMD have stopped and nothing has been found, I think the case for this war is still questionable. There is no evidence, at this point, that shows that Saddam was a threat to us (in terms of WMD).

I've asked you this before, and I'll ask you again, why do you think Iraq was at the top of the list and not a place like North Korea (where human rights abuses are rife and it is a FACT that they are able to blast us with nuclear weapons)??
