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) 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 Google Search and type in "French Military Victories," your reply will be "Did you mean

French Military Defeats?"

4) If your only antiwar 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 deserved.

5) Saddam and Bin Laden will not seek United Nations approval before they try to kill us.

6) Despite what some seem to believe, Martin Sheen is NOT the President. He plays one on TV

7) Even if you are antiwar, you are still an "Infidel" and Bin Laden wants you dead, too.

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.
