“Another one of the more hysterical belief sets of conservatives...”
Really, JTTMAB,I’m going to have to call you down on this.
Bush and the neo-cons are NOT conservatives but rather very much the opposite, that is to say, they are probably the most radical group of men who have held power in Washington since the days of Reconstruction. They are not conserving anything --- not our laws, not the lives of our young men, not our traditions of limited government, not our finances, not our long tradition of mutually beneficial relations with the important governments and peoples of Europe, not even the truth, which they view with contempt when it stands in their way, and NOT EVEN our independence as a sovereign government.
As a side issue, you should also realize that the most consistent and principled opponents of the Iraq war have been the conservatives, that is to say, the true, old, i.e. paleo-conservatives. They also of course opposed Clinton’s bombing and other campaigns in the former Yugoslavia.
