Okay, I am getting a little annoyed about people saying that Saddam and Osama were the best of buddies, therefore it was justifable to go to war with Iraq.
Personally I was in favour of the war in a Iraq (I was a conservative in my young days lol), but when the Bush Administration told of the link and how Iraq could be responsible for 9/11 - I immediatly though "liar". Even the pro-war guys in the UK knew not to say that.
It was that moment that I realized that the Bush Administration was making every excuse in the book. (It wasn't about Iraqi freedom either, since Bush offered Saddam a chance to stay in power). Ever since then I have become more and more liberal, university played alot in my liberalism. Maybe it was the multi-racial atmosphere or I might have just got smarter lol.
Are you conservatives in denial? You must be, the truth keeps on staring you in the face.
Prepared a few links to back myself up.
