All I want is facts.Facts? What are those? Much of what we "know" is based on faith in someone or something. For example, you believe that there is a place called "Iraq" and that there are US soldiers there. How do you know? You have based your "facts" completely on observations and assurances provided by others who you have never met and of whose existence you have no proof, but in whom you nevertheless choose to place your faith and trust.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
