I don't think that HTL actually cares about Iraq's civilians, she just uses them as a shield in her own agenda.

WHAT?! What agenda? What POSSIBLE agenda could she have? I blame Fox News for the fact that a person as reasonable as you could make such an asinine statement; they have effectively redefined the word agenda to mean 'any viewpoint we disagree with'.

Agendas have to do with money or power. If for instance somebody criticizes environmental law, there have been several situations where that person was getting paid off by the energy industry, because that industry has a financial interest in those laws being repealed. THAT'S an agenda. Democratic politicians have an agenda just like Republican politicians to the extent that all of them want to get elected. But an independent liberal on a discussion board? What agenda could she POSSIBLY have? The "I want people on rttp to bitch at me agenda?" There is zero benefit to being an independant liberal in the public discussion, because all the power, all the money, and therefore all the agendas are on the other side. What, do you think soemone tosses her a joint everytime she posts a link?

Seriously, if there's any "agenda" that you or anyone else can come up with, I'd love to hear it. HTL has nothing to gain from sticking up for Iraqi civilians, because she's not on anyone's payroll and she's not running for office.

I really don't expect everyone here to agree on their politics, but a little common sense would be nice.

I'll explain, and in doing so, explain my view about the war.

Explaining your view of the war you did quite well and reasonably.

Explaining your comments about her "agenda", well... you didn't.
