The war threads have been interesting to read and have added much to my thinking about all of this. The question was posed a few days ago whether any of us changed opinions based on the threads here...Well mine have certainly expanded as the events and discussion have unfolded. So thanks. On the day the war broke out I was outraged and terrified of what this would bring- due to the consequences of "preemption", the thought of urban guerrila warfare and Saddam's sacrifice of civilians and our troops. This fear coupled, with a healthy distrust of the motivations of the Bush Administration, and Bush's lack of skill in convincing me otherwise, made me very wary indeed. I grew up, shaped by watching Vietnam and Cambodia on the TV during dinner. Not that that distrust is gone, but I'm more aware,trying to be openminded, less immediately biased.
This foreign policy is all new, and I'm paying better attention. So thanks all you hawks, doves, and other mixed avians. Now lets get some healthcare support in there.
