Reply #52: You repeat the junta's straw man [View All]

[HFishbine]

The Bush administration, when challenged about the need for this war, respond by saying we couldn't have a bad man with bad weapons.

Leaving aside the extremely relevant issue that there were no weapons, that argument, which you repeat, assumes that the only alternative to a bad man with bad weapons was war. That's a straw man argument that ignores the fact that there were alternatives to war.
