    So it's OK to speculate about evil motives of the US, but not OK
    to speculate about evil motives of other governments? Let's not
    pretend that just because there exist good motivations for opposing
    the war that its opponents therefore espouse those motives. That
    would be just as irrational as assuming that the US motive was
    actually to free the Iraqi people.
