My Beliefs Regarding This War

I believe...

...we are on the wrong path.
...that this war is unnecessary.
...we've too often put ourselves above others in the world.
...that there has not been sufficient public debate on this issue.
...that the Bush administration did not make an adequate case for war.
...that we are uniting nations against us.
...that we risking long-term economic damage by engaging in this war.
...that fear and nationalism is sweeping over this country.
...that we've compromised the ideals of our founding fathers, the spirit of our Constitution, and most of what makes our nation great.
...this administration's stated interests in bringing human-rights progress or democratic change to the people of Iraq are insincere, and that its only real aim is to control the price and quantity of oil coming out of the region.
...that a corrupt U.S. administration can do much more harm to the world than an evil Iraqi regime.
...that the Bush administration has done nothing to address the reasons why so many people in other countries hate and fear our nation.
...our policies in the middle east are leading young Arab men to turn to terrorism and fundamentalist Islam out of desperation.
...this country has wrongfully used the tragic events of September 11 to leverage domestic support for this war.
...that Al Qaeda will use this war to leverage regional support for more terrorism directed against innocent Americans.
...a nation reaps what it sows.
...this nation initially supported Saddam's regime as a force against the fundamentalist government in Iran.
...that the U.S. unwittingly helped to create the fundamentalist revolution in Iran by supporting the brutal, anti-communist shah.
...that by choosing war over diplomacy, weapons over words, aggression over patience that we are greatly increasing the likelihood of economic, political, and physical catastrophe in our lifetimes.
...Saddam Hussein is an evil man; I hope that he is permanently removed from power.
...that George Bush is not an evil man, but I believe that his administration is misleading the American people by preying on our collective fear of terrorism and by warping the recent renewal of patriotism into nationalism and xenophobia.
...that our children's generation will judge us poorly because we were too scared or too complacent to stand up for what's right.

I am hoping I'll be proven wrong.
