It amazes me to find that people still do not realize that the United States is a /republic/ as opposed to a pure Democracy. Quite bluntly, the popular vote does not matter, and has never mattered (this is a good thing, btw). I am no fan of Bush or Gore... but Bush was properly elected.

Well, not really. Even if you discount the overall popular vote, they stopped counting in Florida. We really don't know who won since they stopped the counting, but it looked like Gore would have won a fair and full count in Florida. Then he would have won by electoral votes.

If Saddam had chemical weapons that were enough of a threat to us 1000's of miles away, then I think it's funny that he didn't even use them right after we attacked, let alone when we were inside Baghdad.
If he didn't use chemical weapons in SELF DEFENSE, I doubt they would have been used offensively..

Exactly. I've been saying he'd only use them in self defense, and he didn't even do that.
Of course, the polls say we don't care if they find WMD in Iraq anymore.
You have to admit, that's quite an impressive job of manipulating people by our gov't.
