The fact that you're a minority here doesn't really mean much, other than the fact that this is a US dominated board, which probably shouldn't surprise anyone here.



The number of people that hold a belife is no way to determine said belife's validity. I hope you don't actually think that way--over the course of history, plenty of common belifes have proven false (just look at scientific history).

And I would argue that the rudeness has not been limited to the US side of the debate--one common theme of the anti-war crowd is that anyone who disagrees with them is blind, mis-informed, and/or stupid--I think H. Stoekl actually said as much.



It may be said politely, vs. the admittedly vitrolic attacks occasionally leveled by my fellow yanks--but it's still damn insulting and I'm surprised you guys can't figure out why we're hacked off. That, and Herman's posting of that damn website, which was offensive enough to make me see red--offensive both for the thinly vieled anti-US theme (and that *was* an anti-American website, not just an anti-war one), as well as it's sheer factual flaws--if you're gonna accuse the US of mass murder and covert acts of terror, have actual facts behind, not a theory that depends on it's flaws.



Now what will history say on the Iraq war? Gimmie 50 years. It's way too early to tell right now.
