Lieberman, Gebhardt and Edwards support a war on Iraq, according to NYTimes today.
Since they plan to run for president in 2004, we should know that they support a war now.
In today's editorial, the NY Times support a war. I am disappointed in the NYTimes. Folks in Seattle
should cancel their subscriptions in protest. As Peter Scheer pointed out in one editorial,
many countries are in violation of the UN Resolution 1441. I cannot imagine why Bush and
the NYTimes wants to rush us into war.
On Powell, Scheer said:
"It took two decades for Powell, in his autobiography
"My American Journey, " to acknowledge that all the
destruction brought down upon Indochina by the U.S.
was based on an uneducated, unfocused and
enormously costly policy that he and other military
leaders had known to be "bankrupt."
But duty, apparently, required they not tell the public the
truth.
"War should be the politics of last resort. And when we
go to war, we should have a purpose that our people
understand and support," he wrote, summarizing
Vietnam's lessons."
