Thank you for showing that you can have a civil discussion. I sincerely hope it continues.
I never said Bush is a bumbling idiot trying to finish "Daddy's" war, but I do find it interesting the Bush Sr spoke at a college a few weeks before the war and said his son should back off and listen to the world leaders. He said that the case for WOMD could be debated and that's it's not as clear cut as it was in 1991. He also said that Bush should not go against the UN. Here's the link:

That is what I am doing, and that is what I think is lacking from most people who support the war. You better have a damn good reason to invade another country and so far we have not been presented with that reason. I don't think it's right to believe them just because they are our leaders. If they have the proof then show it. Leaders have lied to their citizens since the dawn of civilization, why would it be any different today?
Also, the rest of the world should have pretty much the same intellegence reports that we did, especially since the one that Powell took to the UN was plagerized from a collge students report that is over 12 years old. Why are they opposed to the war?
