I think a lot of people just conjure and search for excuses/explanations to support their belief system.
That's why I meticulously researched this blog. I wasn't looking for affirmation of my beliefs. This was actually a search for truth. Sometimes I begin a research blog like this, and change my mind. Unfortunately, information I found was surprising, and reinforced my view...for example, the secret flights taking Palestinians from Gaza. Anyone who disagrees with my perspective is welcome to show how my logic is flawed--given the record. It's all there. Inconvenient for some, maybe, but clear.
as US citizens, we'll be lucky if we get out of this war without paying a heavy price.
I think we are already paying a heavy price--in world prestige, in relations with our Gulf allies, in NATO influence, in national debt and loss of life. But it's only begun. Consider the huge supplemental appropriation he's asking for now. And all those soldiers, heading toward the Middle East.
A thoughtful blog, with a historical perspective, on this subject: 
I see the tragedy of this war and I am very disheartened. I try not to obsess, but it's always in the background.
