>Sure, I listened. I'm not sure what other meaning you could attach to it. Why don't you give us your interpretation?

Sure. The "global test" is a "smell test." If an action could make sense to other liberal democracies (not countries like Cuba or Iran, as has been implied), then it's valid, except in cases of imminent danger. There was no imminent danger in the case of Iraq.

>This is idiotic. When you're at war, you come up with the money and ask questions later. This is why thinking people think the Left are so damned stupid.

I disagree. The administration could've forestalled its tax cuts to pay for the war, but it did not, because it needed to pander to its base. Kerry's vote made sense to me.
