Turbodog, Bigwill, Craigsub - Thanks for all the responses.

I have been thinking that I have been a bit out of line and selfindulgent. My purpose was to get information by entering the argument - but I think I am arguing too much instead of asking questions.

Honestly, I think going into Iraq was a BIG mistake and I have a hard time seeing why I should vote for Bush (this is a confession not an argument - I am offering no reasons here). But, if I am going to argue I need to know more.

So, anyway I will try to post my thoughts in the form of questions in the future. I don't want to be antagonistic, and I don't want to pontificate with my small collection of information.

I graduated from Jerry Falwell's college (now University) so I pretty well understand and empathize with the feelings behind conservative viewpoints. I think the truth is usually in the middle somewhere - so I need to hear what you guys have to say to feel like I am getting to a good understanding of our world and politics.

Anyway - more later.
