truth be told, I was supportive of the Iraq War until I saw something...yes, on television that opened my eyes. I , like many Americans, senators, and politicians, believed that, perhaps, we would find the stockpile of weapons as laid out in Colin Powells "show and tell" at the UN. I had no choice, previously having a government that I could believe in under Clinton (at least when it came to the important political decisions...war in Bosnia....attacks on Bin Laden, etc...) I thought it was under control even with the Deserter in office. I was NEVER pro-Bush. On television, I saw through night vision, a bridge over a highway. I saw young, white, male American troops yelling at a car driving below them...amongst many other cars, to stop. The car did not stop as there was no logical way to really communicate this command (why not?) and, therefore, every family member in the car was killed. War is hell, but Stupidity is the Atrocity of Hell. What we ALL learned in the year that followed was that there was never any real immediate threat we had to respond to. We could have known this information ahead of time. Then comes the 9/11 commission to officialize (for better or worse) the accounting of the most treacherous act of terrorism to occur on our shores. It is clear that the illegitimate President could not even legitimize his job by doing it right. We just need a culture of correction in Washington now because "business as usual" aint workin.
