Glad you find it entertaining Dexter. I will continue to entertain. I am looking at the big picture (as how I see it) and it is difficult to explain, but I will try.

All politicians lie. That is another fact. Expecting to Believe them is foolish. So why anyone would be surprised that lie surprises me.

Often times on this planet we can not choose something good. We must choose the lesser of two evils. I would much rather choose a leader who makes a decisiion based on poor intelligence and kills a man who just kills whoever he sees fit then choose a leader who cuts your tongue out for speaking bad about him.

I also believe if people spent as much time and energy making the world a better place than nit-picking what was done poorly (they seem to forget that hind-sight is 20/20 and quite probably everyone would behave differently [mabye the Iraq war would never has started if they knew thier intelligence was incorrect, who's to say?] if they could go back in time) and focus on what needs to be done now. Most of the people who complain about what was not done right put not a single drop of effort into improving anything, they live in the past. Well if thats what floats your boat,have fun. I try to educate people, but there is a flaw to my approach, you need to be receptive to learn, which a large part are not.

While I agree with you Dexter that a bad man is not a good reason to go to war, again I would need volumes to properly explain myself. A bad man who kills thousands of innocent people and continues to do is (at least in my mind) a good reason and always will be. Even if more people die in the war, it is the only way to improve the planet in that particular aspect.

I am much more pragmatic than most, so they miss most of my points because like I said before, I am focused on the big picture, most don't care more than a few events.

And while I don't feel the need to offer "hard proof" I will offer a little guidence. First read this:

now imagine the man dead, funds dry up. All you need is one person who would've blown himself up to get his family money now change his mind, and then that convinces me the number declined. Add a little common sense, well you can figure it out or you won't. I don't care because your belief won't effect the world too much.

KILL BAD MEN!!! YEAH!!! (I just hope noone thinks I am a bad man, then I must kill myself)

And honeybee, just because Saddam is paying them doesn't mean they have to be Iraqis, he will pay palestinians also. Assumptions like that cause all kinds of false information. Now you sound like Bush.
