Default Hey Neocons, refute this:

Images - Comics, Games, News of the Weird - MSNBC.com

Tell us what's innacurate about this analogy.

Reason the man went into the yard in the first place, oh and the neighbor had attacked two other neighbors and had a pile of corpses stacked behind the woodshed smelling up the whole sub division.

Outside of that nothing.

It is intellectually dishonest to take a continuum and arbitrarily draw a line and then ignore the parts before you don't like :-)

1.The Neighbor tried breaking into your friends house you forced him out.
2. After you forced him out you organized a patrol around his house only to be subject to taunts and rock hurling.
3. This Nieghbor continuely beat his children and wife, and boasted about having a stockpile of machine guns and RPGS in his basement.
4. On a nice sunny september morning a group of hooligans vandalised your home and killed your gold fish. The Neighbor was seen jumping for joy.
5. You had a fear that your neighbor was planning to arm the hooligans with guns from his collection, so you and the Nieghborhood watch voted to send an inspector to check if he had those weapons.
6. Your Neighbor made the inspectors jobs impossible, making threats against them and eventually forcing them out of his home.
7. You have a choice take a chance that his boasts and actions are fake, but if your wrong a group of hooligans will go to your house and shoot your wife and kids.

Fair enough. I suppose it would be more honest of me to say that Nate's declared reason for being there was false, and that by adding the pile of body's you're arbitrarily creating reasons for the decision?

Only if you are one of those silly people who can't understand that there were a multitude of reasons for us being there, and that insisting that there was only one is silly. Besides. We did not know BEFORE that there were not WMD, we only knew after, and considering that in 1998 we discovered that Saddam had a huge chemical weapons factory completely missed by inspections, suggesting that we should have taken the UN at their word is somewhat unwarranted.

Now, do I think Bush was an idiot for reducing it down to a single issue? Yes, said so at the time (a few people here might be able to back me up), but that doesn't take away from the host of issues that their were.

For instance, Christopher Hitchens supported the war because he supported the Kurds. Intelligent people could figure out this for themselves without having to be told "what it is really all about".

As a disclaimer, I don't think you are silly.
