That is a healthy place to be, as it will allow you the rare opportunity to have to defend concepts that ordinarily you would be working to discredit. Definitly improves your understanding and perception of the world when you look thru other eyes.
Here's some points you can use ...
First: (and most obvious)the country was not financially ready to open a second front. This has compounded the damage that the recession and the previous war in Afghanistan had allready caused.
Second: The arguement that sanctions against Iraq did not work is just not true as the very fact that (even Bush has had to publicly admit) there were no WMD's in Iraq is clear evidence that the sanctions were working.
Third: The main cause for Bush's justification of the war (see above) has proven false.
Forth: The US was in no danger of immenent attack by Iraq. There was no National State of Emergency that clearly depicted Iraq as the source of the 911 attack. In fact there was far more involvement from the Saudi's (our allies) as several of the hijackers were Saudi.
Finally: If one reads history the record for any nation that has occupied a moslem country has been full of the same probs we are now facing. We are being put into the same situation Isreal has had to deal with since the world gave moslem land to them to form a country. Moslems are fiercly defensive of their homelands.
Hope that helps for a start. Mayhaps this assignment might enable you to see that those of us that have opposed this war have some pretty compelling reasons for doing so.
