Brain-washed? I'm the one who's playing the contrarian here, not you. Ask any dullard on the street what they think about Iraq and they'll say "Blah blah WMD blah blah OIL blah blah HALIBURTON blah blah CIVIL WAR blah blah BUSH'S POODLE". I'm not saying everything is perfect in Iraq. I'm not saying people who disagree with regime change are stupid. I'm saying you're stupid. You aren't thinking for yourself. Your arguments are completely the first thing you hear from a concerned mother on Richard and Judy. They're utterly skin deep, utterly short-sighted, and utterly ignorant of the contradictions on BOTH sides of the fence.

Consider Iraq as it was before the invasion. Plot its future in a world where nobody intervenes. Is it a bloodless path? Is it a path that leads closer to a long term solution to the problem? Is it a path that leads nowhere? When Saddam dies, who fills the vacuum? A democratic, federal government? A Zarqawi clone? Saddam's sons? Mother Teresa II? Bill Cosby? The coalition invades, innocent people die. The coalition ignores Iraq, innocent people die. What would you do?
