I have always admired your steadfast dedication to this topic, but mainly because of the patience and tact you argue your points with. I have no doubt this thread has been reporte already and actions will be taken if they haven't already against the personal slights to you.
But without going into any personal attack, why do you state this, the quoted section? Do you think those opposing it are not seeing it, or do you feel they do not agree with the legal standpoint, the international security, and the moral justification?
I understand why the Bush administration considers the invasion of Iraq to be legal, necessary and moral and I totally agree with their view point.
Many people around the world though don't understand the Bush administrations justification for war or simply disagree with it. I'm not really sure if its more one than the other or a general combination of both. Certainly, the administration could be at fault for not being the best at communitcating its justifications to the outside world which could certainly contribute to a lack of understanding on the part of others. But, media and prevailing anti-American biases may also prevent there from being a better understanding of the Bush administrations justifications for war in other countries. In May of 2005, this does not come as a surprise given all that has happened in the past two years.
