But, we have to remember that each and every little piece of information that causes us to hold these passioinate opinions (pro or anti-war) is stuff we have heard on the news, mostly from the administration. I mention this because when opinions differ so greatly, it's important to look at what the sources of evidence are.
*snort* You have no idea how much the Washington Post's reporters hate hearing that they're just repeating what "the administration" is telling them. I may not agree with the Post a lot, but I'd never accuse them of being shills for Bush.
And your whole "I won't judge" attitude is the very attitude that has given Hussein the impression that he can continue playing games with the international community. He doesn't think that the UN has the balls to take decisive action. He only complies with inspections when the proverbial gun is to his head, and then as soon as the pressure is relaxed, he gets back to business. This isn't spoon-fed Bush-approved propaganda...it's historical fact based on 12 years of attempted enforcement of UN resolutions.
