and Richard....I am surprised how in agreement you and MM are! one of the major points of the movies (and one of the scariest to me)was how easily the government was able to convince so many people of the imminent threat posed by Iraq --without facts to back it up!




Why is it any different if I believe their version of the truth?

I do take exception to the statement the MM and ME are in agreement. First of all, I am better looking than he is-

How's about the fact that millions of dollars were spent by people who are fooled by a fast edit, fade, voice overs and some facts that are skewed beyond belief....

What do I believe?????

Well, I can admit that maybe my beliefs are wrong, or I support a war thatmay not have been on the up and up or that maybe going in and deposing a dictator was wrong..
But I do believe that we should finish what we started.. I do have faith that things will work out in Iraq.

Some of the people in America DO NOT HAVE THE STOMACH for the war we are in....BUT I CAN GUARANTEE YOU, the same people who oppose the war
will be running around criticizing the government when we get a dirty bomb blown up in our back yard....

Don't worry, you'll be far away from the fallout.

Terrorists love big cities.

Make up your mind, I have.


Funny

So I'm hazy on which of our chemical weapons turns a person's face into a barely recognizable mass of liquified flesh?

You are correct, you didn't say it, you typed it.

As to what you believe....

I have no control over what you believe.

I have no problem conceding a point when I am wrong...

The thing that entertains me is when I have a conversation with my pals and they bring up a subject like chemical weapon that we are accused of using in Iraq, I'll ask them for some kind of verification...

Let's make this a factual thread.

Prove to me (I'll only ask for two articles) that we have used chemweps in Iraq.

And while we are at it let's acknowledge that Richard Clarke signed to get the bin Ladens out of the USA.

The part that troubles me about farenhoot 9/11 is the visceral effect that it has had on the audiences.......

Even in the worst arguements about politics, I have no desire to spit on someone.

Of course, that only happens when you run out of arguements and have no self control.
