Ah, that's a different question!

Will people change their minds because of this thread?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Some people who have already made up their minds might take links and material posted in this thread to post it elsewhere, where other people might be willing to discuss the pros and cons of either side of the argument.

Who knows! There might be people here whose opinions have changed, even the slightest, even to add a minor doubt to the surety of their opinion until now.

And with each passing day, week or month, as more current events point out one side of the argument or another, they may add a weight that will tip someone's opinion scale or at least make people investigate further on their own.

Who knows?!
