You used something you assumed to be true, to determine other things were false. Don't do that.

But I will use that information to question what I am being told. Although I understood the desire for decisive action after the attacks on 9/11, I was still wary of our decision to attack another country so quickly, especially since it was claimed that the attacks were perpetrated by an individual group. So I started to look around for more information and I found many interesting bits that led me to see interesting 'connections'. I admit I am no scholar, and especially when it comes to geopolitical issues, but it is hard for me to discount information that jives with my belief that most of the military action undertaken by the US has economic/resource implications. I will also admit that I did use this information as fodder in the blame game against Bush. However, since, I have come to realize the issue is much more complicated than that.

Speaking of complicated, I just found this article.
