I just got an email from a friend.
It's a list that Dennis Miller put together. I don't always find him to be as intelligent as he thinks he is, but I do think he hit the mark this time.
It's thought provoking, if nothing else.

All the rhetoric on whether or not we should go to war against Iraq has
got my insane little brain spinning like a roulette wheel. I enjoy reading
opinions from both sides but I have detected a hint
of confusion from some of you.
As I was reading the paper recently, I was reminded of the best advice
someone ever gave me. He told me about the KISS method
(Keep It Simple, Stupid!).
So with this as a theme, I'd like to apply this theory for those who
don't
quite get it. My hope is that we can simplify things
a bit and recognize a few important facts.
Here are 10 things to consider when voicing an opinion on this important
issue:
1) Out of President Bush and Saddam Hussein , Hussein is the bad guy.
2) If you have faith in the United Nations to do the right thing keep
this in mind, they have Libya heading the committee on human rights
and Iraq heading the global disarmament committee. Do your own
math here.
3) If you use a Google search and type in "French Military Victories,"
your reply will be "Did you mean French Military Defeats?"
4) If your only anti-war slogan is "No War for Oil," sue your school
district for allowing you to slip through the cracks and robbing
you of the education you deserve.
5) Saddam and bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before
they try to kill us.
6) Despite common belief, Martin Sheen is not the president. He plays
one on TV.
7) Even if you "are" anti-war, you are still an "infidel" and bin
Laden wants you dead too.
8) If you believe in a "vast right-wing conspiracy" but not in the
danger that Hussein poses, quit hanging out with the Dell
computer dude.
9) We are not *trying* to liberate them.
10) Whether you are for military action or against it, our young men
and women overseas are fighting for us to defend our right to
speak out. We all need to support them without reservation.
I hope this helps.
