Actually...ummm....I do. In 1947 a bunch of EUROPEAN nations got together and formed Israel as a nation as sort of an apology to jews for the holocaust. Jews had always thought of this land as their birthright and nobody cared that palestinians lived there as well and had for thousands of years, also thinking the land was their homeland. See...modern day Israel is the birthplace of the three biggest religions: judaism, christianity, and islam. It contains some of the holiest cities to these people so saying it belongs to one and not the other is just plain wrong. As for palestinians getting the shaft, I completely agree. We fund tons of money through Israel and basically give palestinians the finger. Why? Plain and terrible truth...there are more jewish voters in the US than muslim. Nobody there is right...they're all wrong. They're destroying each other over rocks and sand. I know, I know, they think it's their rightful homeland but when it's all said and done it's just a grubby little piece of desert. If they wanna fight, by all means...natural selection will rule and the stupid will die first (the stupid being the ones who'll fight over a piece of land nobody else wanted). I just despise the fact that we give one of them money and call them right and ignore the other one. Just because we give them money does not give Israel the high ground. It has partaken in it's share of stupid shit too. Then Bush came out a while back and told Israel to slow down. WTF?! Stop giving them money dickweed. At least make it a level playing field.
As for the original topic...yes...I'd totally be willing to do a 180 if we did find new WMDs that were clearly government sponsored and say I was wrong. But hell...if a Chinese cult can manufacture massive amounts of sarin gas and bomb a subway, I'm sure some terrorist asshole has the formula too. But we all know this won't be the case. We didn't go there to attack individual terrorist cells...we went in to get Saddam out. We could've done it like Afghanistan...swift and relatively clean. But alas...no. You guys should watch "The Fog Of War". It draws some startling similarities to Iraq and Vietnam. All that said, even if we do find government sponsored WMDs, it won't change my opinion on the war. Like I said, we've got more insane nuclear warheads than anyone and we've already shown a complete lack of control as to where and how we use force. Why hasn't someone come to bomb our asses yet? Oh...that's right...because we've got a rogue dictator who has a huge cache of nuclear fucking weapons.
