Norm-

I hope you are right. I can't be proved wrong here. All I've ever expressed is doubt. You want to show me that GW is right, please prove it to me. I have ALWAYS said I am 60/40 against the honorable President Bush because I don't dare to assume I know everything. If he were to prove to me that we are in there for the right reasons, I will immediately appologize to everyone I've offended. I am not about sides. i am about proof.

SO let's talk proof. We were told Iraqis would defect en masse the minute we went in. --- NOT TRUE

We were told they would cheer us in the streets when we arrive. OK, a few did, overall -- NOT TRUE. But I'll call it a push.

We were told Saddam had numerous WMDs that we would unleash on Americans. So far, THANK GOD, NOT TRUE.

We were told that Iraq's neighbors were afraid of him and needed to be protected -- They hate us more now than ever.

I wish the honorable President of the United States of America is proven correct so I can appologize to you and feel better about being an Ameican. So far, I'm not impressed with any of this.

My only joy comes from the relatively low (but still too high for me) American csualty rate.

Peace
