    gah stupid logout, lost my post.

    ok, let's start over. when i read a news article, i look for the articles' sources and go to that. often, reporters won't read an entire article and end up quoting something that's contradicted later in the paper, or they will give sources that are impossible to trust (ie: 'a washington insider' which is seen so much recently).

    most of what i've discussed so far is from the UN's 1990 report following imposed economic sanctions on Iraq. the thousands of gallons of botox, the confirmed weapons tests containing botox and aflatoxin, the weapon designs intended to reach targets up to 2,000 miles, genocide, cruelty; all are outlined in UN reports.

    but it's fucking bland shit, man :) if anyone was home and i wasn't stuck being the only person in 10 miles who isn't a football fan, i wouldn't be arguing any of this :) the truth is, regardless of my moral beliefs on the subject - i don't know shit. nobody knows shit. we only know what we're told, so we assume the worst and everyone's lying to us. as i morally object to the current buildup and possible war in Iraq, i believe also that my moral objection, if realised, could result in much greater death in the future.

    i distrust that 'washington insider' but why should i trust the UN? it's a paradox.
