This Thread, specifically a comment by HH inspired a couple of wonderings. Rather than drag that thread off topic, I've just put the thoughts here and am curious as to what people think about the vast differences in peoples thinking regarding the War in Iraq, or war period.


I think the same thing, everyday, several times a day. I've thought, maybe it's me who is blind, maybe I'm just a peace freak, maybe I'm crazy, maybe there was something I missed along the way. Apparently it is quite simple for those who support the War in Iraq. It's mind- boggling to me, how people see this issue so completely differently.

War freaks me out. The atrocities of war, the havoc it wreaks upon the innocent lives of people should be used with the utmost caution and concern for the well being and security of the innocent bystanders. Meticulous and conscientous planning must be top priority WELL Before an invasion such as that of Iraq. And, before all of that planning, there must be reason, beyond a shadow of a doubt that entry into war is an absolute NECESSITY, without question.

There must be some reason that a large number of people were and still are unconvinced of a need to invade Iraq. We weren't convinced. Why were some convinced and some not?

Were you at one time convinced and later did you change your mind?
Have you always believed in the need for Iraqi invasion?
Please explain.
