How did we get here? In one sense, this war is easy to explain. Saddam
Hussein is a brutal dictator who hates America and has shown a wicked
fondness for acquiring and using weapons of mass destruction (WMDs).

The attacks of September the 11, 2001 showed what the enemies of America did
with four airplanes. We will not wait to see what terrorists or terror
states could do with weapons of mass destruction. We are determined to
confront threats wherever they arise. And, as a last resort, we must be
willing to use military force. We are doing everything we can to avoid war
in Iraq. But if Saddam Hussein does not disarm peacefully, he will be
disarmed by force.

Across the world, and in every part of America, people of goodwill are
hoping and praying for peace. Our goal is peace -- for our own nation, for
our friends, for our allies and for all the peoples of the Middle East.
People of goodwill must also recognize that allowing a dangerous dictator to
defy the world and build an arsenal for conquest and mass murder is not
peace at all; it is pretense. The cause of peace will be advanced only when
the terrorists lose a wealthy patron and protector, and when the dictator is
fully and finally disarmed.

To me, simple selective reading changes the entire content of an article. Be
sure to read the entire article to understand the content and then draw your
own thoughts.

Snips were used to reflect the shift of how aspects of something can be
view.
