Hi JohnM; Re: "That's rather telling, Hawk. You and I start from different places. I'm far more skeptical of their aims and their claims of evidence we can't see than I thought you were. The fall politics of this could be interesting, perhaps disturbing." The national discussion over Iraq has been mostly within the Republican party. The Democrats have been rather quiet. Maybe this is due to the presumption that Republicans know best about foreign policy, or maybe it's that the Democrats don't want to get in the way of the Republicans stepping on their [insert slang word for male genitalia here]. But what I'd like to point out is that the arguments among the Republicans demonstrate that the Republican party is nowhere near as bloodthirstily stupid as some on the left would have us believe. It's not the Republicans that are sitting back and letting the country march off to an unnecessary war. It's the Democrats that are being quiet.
