Well, caz, it could be a number of things.

Perhaps you've read too much far-left (or far-right) hyperventilating about how the Constitution is being shredded and Ashcroft is going to put us all into concentration camps.

Perhaps you haven't read enough history to know how common such overblown predictions are.

Perhaps you haven't thought logically about the situation. E.g.: "Bush is just out for oil!" Well, if that were true, why go after *Iraq's* oil? Saudi Arabia has more oil, better oil infrastructure, fewer weapons, no WMD, and we already have a couple of bases in the country. That's where most of the 9/11 hijackers came from, so he'd have the perfect excuse.

So why Iraq? Maybe because they really do have illegal WMD, and really are supporting terrorists.

Or maybe you're just paranoid... ;->
