Do you publicly speak out every time "your" group does something you don't agree with? I know I don't. I consider myself an environmentalist and it pisses me off when militant environmentalists burn down luxury homes or Hummer dealerships, but I don't go around news networks and publicly condemn it. I just gripe about it to my wife for a while and we both agree it's despicable and that's about it. I think most muslims, at least based on the surveys I've seen felt that way about 9/11 as well but couldn't really do much about it.

So everybody lied about what was going in to Iraq? Really? Got proof of that? There was a long list. Was every item on that list a clerical error or lie?

I think one of the main reasons so many democrats in congress voted for the war was the public's pressure. The public bought into the arguments for war and they were hungry to strike someone, anyone really. And the thinking pretty much was that anyone who was against the war was unpatriotic.
I think you missed the page where the lies were discussed. I think it was pretty well covered.
