Only the Facts

Have you noticed that people spewing anti-Iraq-war rhetoric often trumpet their own "intelligent research of the issue" as justification for being unquestionably correct? Are you one of these people? I try not to claim my views as gospel, more intelligently thought out, or better researched than other's. I welcome a good healthy debate. I often find those on the far right and the far left of the issues equally pompous and rude.

If you are one of those who has researched the war in Iraq and concluded it is unjust, would you consider a look back at the world before Saddam Hussein's removal? Would you agree to check out the evidence that drove us to this undertaking? Here you will find an analysis of Saddam's ties to terrorism, with commentary by Iraqi defectors, international weapons experts, former white house advisers, and others. This research was done prior to the war in Iraq and, consequently, lacks the liberal bias that likes to paint this as President Bush's personal, unsupported, and unjustified war. I apologize if this evidence does not support the popular President bashing that is now so prevalent. These are the facts that the world and President Bush were confronted with shortly after September eleventh.
