Good points. I agree with you to some extent. I still think you should educate yourself fully on an issue before joining an organized protest. Not knowing the facts and protesting a war would be like joining a union picket line without knowing any of the details. Of course you would have the percentage of the people that never believe war is just, so they would protest based on that fact alone.

I'm not sure if "educating yourself" does much good. I assume you think you "educated yourself"? And yet you were proved completly and utterly wrong and swallowed the lies about WMD completly.
Perhaps there's something to be said for the instincts of your friends. They were right after all.

Damn, I do believe you are the single densist person I have ever conversed with anywhere. Once again you do not know whether or not the weapons exist, just like the rest of us. I am not having this argument with you again.

Could you try and make a post without the childish insults? Just a suggestion.

Yep, you've just met Alpo. There are certain persons that are better ignored.
But not to lose sight of the offtopic, I think that people who protest without thinking seriously and critically about the issue they are either supporting or protesting are dangerous idiots who belong in a cage.

By "rest of us" who exactly do you mean? Here's the British ex-Foreign Secretary 3 months ago:
Mr Cook told Radio 4: "Plainly it did not have such weapons or they would have found them by now."

So a quote be an ex-official from an article from the Guardian makes it fact? That is ludicrous.

No, you said "the rest of us" don't know if they exist. I simply pointed out that the british ex-foreign secretary is saying they don't exist. Didn't even Rumsfield also let slip that he thought they'd been "destroyed" before the war? Do you think he just made that up for no reason? Who exactly do you mean by "rest of us"? You and luv?

How about 'the rest of us' means normal humans that can admit they do not know everything. I am not saying they are there, I am just saying that I do not know for sure.

So this is just some philosophical point about how no-one can ever really know anything "for sure"?
Yeah, I guess so.
Before I believe there are WMD in Iraq I really would need a little evidence tho.

I am not asking you to believe they are there, just that there is a possibility that they are, just like there is a possibility that there aren't.

Yet another person who doesn't realize the inability to find something is not proof it doesn't exist.

Read the link Edame posted. Some people think he was AWOL from the Guard when he was in for a whole year, and that it was a vast media conspiracy to cover it up. I find it ridiculous, but that is what they were talking about. If there were any truth to it Gore would have brought it up every chance he got.

Like UFO's and the Loch Ness monster?
Don't you need at least some evidence for believing something? If George Bush said there are dragons in your back garden but "we can't find them" would you believe him?
