I suppose we must. Sigh.
I don't think this war is a good idea.
But I don't think Bush is a dictator. I don't think he's evil. I don't think his greatest wish is to see dead Iraqi women and children.
I think he honestly believes what he says.
Just because he doesn't hold the same views as those who oppose the war does not mean that he is a monster. It just means that he doesn't hold the same views.
I don't really want to do this. Am I now considered evil because I hold a different view of Bush?
People on both sides of this debate have legitimate reasons for their views. I could, with reasonable accuracy, explain the thinking on both sides. Does anyone else on this entire board agree with me on that point?
Doesn't true love of peace require that a person stop caracaturing their "opponent" and instead try to understand their point of view?
