    3. No they didn't. See Powell's speech to the UN. They had no evidence. If you think they did then you haven't looked.

    Such a finding was required by the use of force legislation pushed through Congress, so Bush signed a letter to that affect.

    Yeah, but they don't usually switch to another religion. Lot's of people lose their religion, but if there examination leads them to remain religious, they usually don't end up switching religions.

    Why do you find that insulting? Our beliefs don't matter too much. God either exists or doesn't and believing in him doesn't change that.

    It's true that a lot of people reexamine their childhood beliefs critically and continue on with them, but it's also true that you get very few who switch away to another religion after close examining.

    If the demands were being filled anyway, you wouldn't need jobs. If, on the other hand, people do need to work to fulfill demands, and you called any such work "business", which seems a fair definition, then your point is just a tautology.

    Republicans don't believe this. They believe tax cuts to the rich will bring more money to the rich. They don't care that money to the poor and middle class is more effective, because the rich have almost no chance of being truly hurt by the recession. All recession means to them is lower relative labor costs and lower sales which they can ride out by firing people.

    This is also leads to such a weird turn of phrase as "Causing pain" for austerity measures that wreck people's lives. At the very most, the rich feel a bit of heartache out of sympathy.
