Patrick, I agree, war is usless. Stupidity can only be applied when something is capable of thought, leaving war exempt, applying only to the ones making the decisions. The reasons for this war are still unclear and may never be fully known. As far as collecting opinions and determining the realistic value they posess, I will put my money on the well educated, yet not unfallable leaders of this nation, as opposed to a high school educated actor. Unfortunatly we are not at the movies, this is real. Thanks for listening. Joe
