Richard Dawkins: "Well what I really objected to was the lying about the motives for going into Iraq
it was an act of political opportunism."
Sam Harris: "Perhaps I should establish my liberal bone fides at the outset. I'd like to see taxes raised on the wealthy, drugs decriminalized and homosexuals free to marry. I also think that the Bush administration deserves most of the criticism it has received in the last six years especially with respect to its waging of the war in Iraq, its scuttling of science and its fiscal irresponsibility."
Daniel Dennett: "It is this, more than anything else, that utterly disqualifies the fiasco in Iraq as a candidate for just war. Saddam Hussein was an extraordinarily evil dictator, and the world is well rid of him, but the steps taken by the USA to accomplish this unilateral, arrogant, and shockingly ignorant about local conditions have brought shame on the nation."
You should really stop spreading hateful false information about atheists.
