"No, a jury found him not guilty. Meaning they didn't think the State proved the case beyond a reasonable doubt. A later civil suit jury found him liable for the killings."

If a man is innocent until proven guilty (remeber that concept?)then OJ is still innocent as they didn't prove him guilty. The civil suit is tantamount to double jeopardy.

I get away with speeding all the time...just because I don't get caught by cleverly placed radar doesn't mean I'm innocent now does it?

It just means I got away with it this time.

You make an error here, as most people do. The whole phrase is "innocent in the eyes of the law until proven guilty." This means the government is obligated to presume innocence as a process of the courts. It does not obligate me, a private citizen, to abandon my common sense, merely because his jury did.

O.J. cannot be legally jailed for the two murders, because a jury aquitted him. That doesn't mean he didn't commit them. Nor is the civil suit double jeopardy: "...nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb..." (5th am.). His life was not at jeopardy in the civil case.

Well it cost him and arm and a leg. :-) But you are right you have no obligation to presume him innocent.

4. Do you feel that Saddam Hussein possessed no weapons he was specifically forbidden to have by the UN; for example, the Scud missiles he fired into Kuwait during the first two weeks of the war?

5. How do you think Saddam was able to fire weapons that he didn't have?

This is not true. Those were not "Scud" missiles. They were missiles, but they were not the banned Scuds. I forget if they were within legal range or not, but they were NOT shown to be Scud missiles when they were investigated.

Early news stories identified those missiles as Scuds, but they were later shown to be not of that type.

8. If you owned an apartment building, for how many months would you allow a tenant to defy you to kick him out for not paying the rent he owes?

So now we own the whole world?

17. In 1995, Iraq admitted it had biological weapons. They declared they had, for example, 8500 liters of anthrax. Where did they all go? If Iraq destroyed them, why would there be any need for more UN resolutions after that?

So the existence of a UN Resolution (passed only because of US political pressure) proves Saddam had weapons of mass destruction?

19. Do you think the bio-weapons lab vehicles found in Iraq were being used as lunch wagons, or as mobile auto detail trucks?

There were no bio weapons labs found. Fox News reported such finds, but upon further investigation, they were not proven to be bio-weapons labs. Once again, you've used early news stories that were later shown to be false in order to prove your point. You're using bad information.

23. If an illegal U.S. president declares an illegal war, wouldn't the two cancel each other out?

If an illegal alien commits an illegal act, do the two cancel each other out?
