on the other hand, you're defending the person trying to take away MY rights (and yours too). That's the difference.

Well, actually, by you saying we shouldn't do anything about Sadam does interfere with my right to live peacefully. I live within 1 mile of LAX, and I am constanly worried everytime I see the unmarked suburbans go speeding down La Tijerra towards the airport with their sirens on. You said earlier that there are no ties between Sadam and Osama, but I disagree, and "they"(the terrorists) have already proven that they are willing to do terrible things to US, you and I, American citizens. I believe I should have the right to take willful action to prevent anything like that happening again... like I say, it goes both ways.
Also, I am not defending Bush. I think that the anti-war people are trying to capitalize on the fact that there is a very vulnerable figurehead/scapegoat to use as their basis for their beliefs. It's not all up to Bush, you know... Like I said earlier, just because everyone hates Him, doesn't make what he's doing wrong. I have no political party affilliation, but pressed into it, I'd probably actually be a Democrat/Liberal, too... but the fact that that automatically is supposed to imply that I be against anything Republican is what keeps me out of it to begin with.
