I probably qualify as one of those right-wingers, McT. Although it may
seem I have faded away and/or realized the "truth," I do still monitor these threads periodically, but with my eyes wide open. I admire the skill with which several here still attempt to press the good fight, but I long ago realized the futility of discourse with those who see neocon boogeymen behind every shrub. (No -- I chose not to use the term "bush" as that seems to activate the froth & foam response from so many here.)
Having been twice banned from these airwaves for heated exchanges on this subject with certain "pillars" of the community (and threatened with outright excommunication) I've found it safer to watch from afar. I will admit I marvel at the freedom with which some here slander those with right-leaning opinions and seem to enjoy total impunity in doing so. Perhaps I simply travel in the wrong circles.
I also admit it is frustrating to continue to be denied PM privileges (mysterious security risks and an eligibility formula that changes daily -- ???) as a means of communicating outside the public board. (Hotmail accounts are suggested as alternatives ...

I've simply accepted the limitations of having a right-of-center opinion here at stepford.com.
You must of been around before I started coming around. If you wouldn't mind, would you go over once again why this war was justified in simple terms.
Why was Saddam more of a threat than anyone other bad corrupt leader in the world
at the time we invaded Iraq?
Did no other leader possess the potential to give arms to terrorist?
Did no other leader possess the potential develop WMD and Nuclear weapons?
Did no other leader suppress and torture it's citizens at the same magnitude as Saddam Hussien did
when we invaded Iraq?
