Could you possibly assume for just a minute that Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld, Cheney and Rice etc are privy to important classified information that the rest of us aren't shown? Would you at least allow for the possiblity that our leaders know more about what is REALLY going on in Iraq than you, or Susan Sarandon or Sean Penn do?

Are they in a position to have more information than we do? I hope so considering we get nothing more than assertions from this administration. I think that it's important to remember that this administration has been gearing up for war with Iraq since the first war ended in 1990 (Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, and Powell were all in daddy Bush's administration). There has been no proof that Iraq is linked to Al Queada. And there has been no evidence given to those of us who lack access to what is REALLY going on in Iraq. This includes not only the people footing the bill for the war (US taxpayers) but also the UN. If this war were justified by anything other than revenge, there would be proof presented to all those in doubt. What there is proof of is that Saddam is something we, specifically Donald Rumsfeld, helped craft. Instead of listening to the drivel coming out of this administration's mouthpiece, do some research. You might be shocked at some of the things you will find. Consider these two:
*
The gassing of Iraqi people went on for years with the implied consent of the US
*
The US allowed for the export of chemical weapons technology
This administration doesn't care about people. It cares about power. I just hope that Bush's cowboy mentallity doesn't piss-off the terrorists even more and provoke another 9/11.
