There are many, many people, and I am one, who are motivated by a visceral disgust of how the Sept 11 tragedy was hijacked by these immoral men to prosecute a war they have desired since the late 90s. I try my best to post troubling facts and difficult questions, and I try my best to post facts and news articles that support the positions I take. That is not hatred, its an attempt at reasoned argument, which I generally get in return. For those who are uncomfortable with it, your alternatives are to either post something back to support or refute it, or to attack me personally. Take your best shot either way. I believe what I am doing is what all people who love this country should be doing - pointing out that this secretive, war mongering, corrupt administration is commiting mass murder for the purpose of securing oil supplies while the actual threats to our people are ignored.

There are many, many people, and I am one, who realize that the world isn't a simple place with one set of correct answers. When you don't see the world through a rigid, dogmatic filter, actions that can be interpreted as war crimes and conspiracy can also be interpreted as well-meaning acts by imperfect people with good intentions operating in an absence of perfect knowledge. Their actions may be ill-advised - in retrospect -, and they inevitably lead to unforeseen and painful consequences for many people, but they are not the actions of Satan and his minions operating in a well-oiled conspiratorial machine invisible to anyone not privy to the "truth". I believe what I am doing is what all people who love this country should be doing, thinking for myself and taking into account a lot of data, and acknowledging that most of it can be interpreted to support any number of theories. I don't trust zealots, whether they're Birchers or Spartacists. Reasoned argument admits the possibility that that the arguer might occasionally be wrong. Anything else is just preaching, usually to a bored congregation looking at their watches; they've heard it all before.
