Not true, the way you see things are colored by your own perceptions and are not necessarily just the facts. This is the case for everyone. To say that you are the only one speaking the truth is a little bit megalomaniacal, no? (Okay, I'm just being silly now, too much caffeine).
I agree with you on the Clinton point, I also wish he were still our president.

Because they miscalculated. I don't think it was THE reason for war but it was certainly a factor IMO.
