- Many of the reasons that we are being given for this war are clearly fraudulent.
I suppose depending on whose perspective you're looking at it from, that would be a totally correct assumption. Then again is everything those protesting the war are telling the press completely true? I don't even think when it comes right down to it that there are many reasons being given for this conflict.

- There is no reason to think that this war will make Americans safer.
Ultimately, if we accomplish our goals, it should! However, in the name of Liberty and Justice for All we will probably always be the target of some terrorist group or faction, or another.

- There is no demonstrated connection between Iraq and 9-11.
Am I mistaken, or was a high ranking al Quaida recently arrested and determined to have masterminded the 9-11 attack. I don't think there's any doubt about in most people's minds.

- It is wrong to kill people unless you have an excellent reason.
This is a completely correct statement. The "people" in this case are being given every opportunity to turn their tank turrets backwards and hold their hands in the air. It's up to them to do so or they're going a casualty of the "excellent reason" as, unfortunately, will some of our own.
