Iraq had WMDs, trained terrorists
Will anyone change their mind on Iraq now that there's intelligence indicating that not only did Iraq have WMDs but also that they were actively involved in supporting terrorists targeting the US? Probably not - after all, there's always the argument we did it for oil (except I thought that would drive the price of oil down...oh well, so much for basic economic theory of supply and demand). However, I advise we all take this with a grain of salt until we know for sure the memo, er, intelligence isn't faked.
I'm a software engineer who's married and has two daughters. I'm a Christian who tries to let my faith inform my political views, rather than vice versa. I do lean to the conservative side on many issues. Politically, I favor a government that holds people responsible for their behavior and well-being while helping the less fortunate become self-sustaining and contributors to society.
