I know that weapons inspectors have not found WMD, but I thought that Iraq was also supposed to give evidence that they had destroyed the weapons they already had. This evidence has not been produced.
Why? Personally this would lead me to believe that there are yet weapons hidden in Iraq. If they had been destroyed why not provide the evidence?

Looks like only 51% of the eligable voters showed up to the polls in the last U.S presidential election.
So half the country better shut their mouths looks like they have no say in whether or not the country goes to war. They didn't even care enough to vote.
Don't vote! Then don't complain about the decisions that get made!

I have wavered back and forth on this issue of whether or not war in Iraq is warranted/necessary.
I know that most of you have stated that there should be no war. Which is the civilized thing to think, of course we don't WANT war. However I cannot help but wonder what all we don't know about what Iraq is doing, it is not far fetched to believe this man would sell weapons of all sorts to terrorist organizations.
At the same time he fails to produce evidence that weapons he was supposed to destroy, have been destroyed.
Why act so suspicious when you have nothing to hide?
I'm just curious as to how tightly those of you who have stated that you are opposed to war, hold to that ideal?
I do not want a war, in fact it scares me, as to the possible consequences. But if there is a legitimate threat; do you have a better solution?
How much information do we need to have to justify a war in Iraq?

I know I'm not following off the discussion here, and I apologize. However I am finding this war issue so difficult, I mean what am I to believe?
The american media, and gov't are known liars. The Iraqi media/gov't are definately liars. Being Canadian I also watch Canadian news, they are usually somewhat reliable as long as they are not reporting Canadian politics. In the case of this war they are not reporting much differently than the americans, so they must be liars.
So out of all the liars who do I believe?

Schraf,
Obviously you've formed an opinion on this war. I'm wondering how you have managed this considering your usual need for evidence to support any opinion. All your information comes from liars, or at least a biased opinion. Media in and of itself has to have a bias, there has to be some sort of opinion there in order to have any interest in reporting on something. I'm wondering how you have come to such strong conclusions and opinions on this war?
Please note this is not an attack or trick question, I too have my skepticism about this "liberation of Iraq". However I have no solid evidence to say it is either right or wrong. I have the luxury of saying "well as rough as it looks it's not out of God's hands". How do you make such a strong judgement of proceedings when you have limited, faulty, and or biased facts?
