THREE YEARS OF WAR

This weekend marks the third year of the war in Iraq. People from every political point of view will use the occasion to promote their particular view. Those in favor of the war will point to all the good that has come from the war. They will say things like, "The Iraqis are now free. A brutal dictator was removed from power, and democracy can now begin to flourish in the Middle East. Those who are opposed to the war will say there was no weapons of mass destruction, violence continues, and there is no end in sight. I think people should be more concerned with truth than simply trying to prove their position. So here at Worldview, I am going to provide links to many sources and their look at the past three years. The reader will, of course, have to take the time to read and listen to everything and try to figure out exactly how to think about the situation in Iraq.
