I still can't understand how you square that counter-terrorists in Afghanistan are on a just and right cause, but the ones in Iraq are murderers?

The Taliban didn't attack America. They supported and defended Al Queada. Iraq was virtually no different. Saddam supported terrorists, some of which were a part of Al Queada.

Further, the actions taken in Iraq were supported by congress in the same way as the actions in Afghanistan were supported. How is one aligned with the constitution and good for the country, while the other is completely divorced from it?

The same black and white argument you're making in regard to Iraq could been made in regard to Afghanistan.

Please explain your inconsistency?
