There were not many people whose job it was to assess the likelihood of Hussein having WMDs who argued against it. Earlier, a Galveston mayor was lambasted for ordering an evacuation that was unnecessary. If it wasn't for Katrina, people would have complained a lot. > Sure, but there is also the interesting fact that only certain questions > > were asked. > > > You seem to be hinting at something. "Certain" questions? Sure...the poll picked questions for which the facts were more in line with the prejudices of the Democrats than the Republicans. If they only had added a couple of others, like was Hussein in violation of the Security Council Resolutions or did the French ambassador to the UN admit to taking a substantial amount of money from Hussein, I bet that the Republicans' answers would be better in line with the facts. > >Why do people use denial?

Being for peace is political, apparently. I think I've got a test question. Would someone who's still a strong supporter of the war in Iraq, and still believes that, while it's a hard fight, it's a fight for the freedom of the people of Iraq fell comfortable at the ceremony? I know people who have children in the military that were called into active duty and are still supporters of the war in Iraq. If they lost one of their children, would they feel alienated at the ceremony because of what was said?
