I must say, you seem to be simply throwing out a lot of troll tactics lately.
What's going on? . .. too busy with work? . . .did your dog die?
Maybe you're just on the wrong side of this one, and don't want to give up.

Look, I'm sorry - I guess I have got more trollish. The incessant criticism of the French really pissed me off. I actually do see two sides to this - but I end up supporting only one because:
- I am fundamentally against war etc. It is a personal belief thing. If my country was at war, I would have to be a concientious objector, because I couldn't kill other people. I understand the other viewpoint though.
- just because the US can, doesn't mean it should - no matter how well intentioned. While I think you understand this, not all who post here do. Maybe I thought I could change opinions.
I honestly believe this from my last post. "I actually don't think the US is imperialist per se - rather it will protect domestic security at any cost."
And I honestly don't think this is a good thing for the rest of the world (but good for the US). This is why I think you guys tend to have a biased view of the whole situation.
I'm happy to concede the other stuff. In particular on WMD, cease fire etc. If he had them, why didn't he use them? But then again, if he destroyed them, why not show the proof to the UN? It doesn't make sense.
I'm going to keep a low profile on this now. I have said enough and I'm not going to change anyone's opinion. I'll respond to anything directly replied on this thread, but I'm not going to wade in on any others. I don't really want to be "that guy" (which I suspect I've become).
But I reserve the right to argue again on the next "guns are good for protection thread" (and I'm not going to say [b]anything[\b] here now about that).
