I just want to say that I was disgusted by that thread, but don't worry, I'll try not to be too long and I won't try to persuade you. I aknowledge there is no way to succeed at that.

You're quite right; I doubt anyone here is going to convince anyone else to change their opinions. But that really isn't the point of the discussion - I doubt anyone is writing with the idea that the person with the opposite view is going to say "Gee, I never thought of that, and you're so right! I guess I was wrong, you changed my mind."

If you want to *really* debate about the war, try posting on more open forums. AutoHost is not the most representative of all mindsets and culture you can find out there. I would even say it is a quite US/US compatible and military/strategist community... Ever though about that? (not that it is a problem per se, I am part of that community)
For me, it's only about sharing my own perspective and feelings on the topic with this community that I loosely consider "friends", and trying to understand their viewpoints as well. I consider it a discussion, not a debate, and outside of my community of family and friends I don't really care to discuss it, because I have as little interest in the opinions of people I have nothing to do with as they do for mine. Just as you may consider my views to be radical and foolish, I consider the views of many on the other side to be radical and foolish and couldn't care less what they have to say. I do care what YOU have to say, because I "know" you in some small way, at least. I'm glad you decided to voice your sentiments after all because now I know you a little bit better, and it's okay with me that you have a perspective opposite of mine.

Good hyperbole. I can see how that seems like an accurate description to someone so different from me, even if it is a bit colorful. I feel like the US and allies are on the right side of t
