Do the following arguments attack straw men? Why or why not?
1. Anyone who thinks that the United States should not have sent troops to Iraq must think that the suffering Saddam Hussein inflicted on his own citizens doesn't matter much.
2. Anyone who thinks that the United States should have sent troops to Iraq must think that they will only be there for a short time.
3. Humans could not have been created in the image of God, because God is not a physical being, and only physical beings can have images.
4. Atheists think that God does not exist, so everything is permitted. But even atheists must admit that I would not be permitted to kill them! So atheism is nonsense.
5. The theory of evolution says that humans are no different from apes, but humans are clearly smarter than apes, so the theory of evolution must be wrong.
6. Stephen Colbert again: "Evolutionists' main claim is that one day we decided to stop being monkeys and tumed ourselves into humans. Well, if that's true, why aren't more monkeys escaping from zoos? Think about it. They could turn into humans, then disguise themselves as janitors and walk out of their cages. But I guess evolution doesn't have an answer for that one."1
