I'm not mocking you for it; because you aren't mockable for it. You didn't send our troops to Iraq.

The fact that "the war" can only be explained via anonymous hypothesizing on the internet indicates to me that there is a problem. Also, that I can pull a better reason out of my ass in support of the war than anything I've ever heard anybody say who is in support of it. It's the stupid reasons, and non-reasons that make my brain explode. We're doing something that nobody knows the reason for. And when I offer a good reason, they want to argue about it because that's not what they've been told the reason is.

People prefer a stupid reason, and reject a logical reason.
