I have responded to most of these questions at length but will happily summarize for you: "-- the Iraq war -- the Administration -- torture of prisoners -- immense deficit spending -- anything else "The Iraq war:" I was protesting the sanctions for years as a lone wolf howling at the moon. It was wrong because it targeted innocents. Albright recognized this when she said she thought it was worth it if half a million children under the age of five would be denied basic medical and nutrition and died as a result. I detested Saddam and was really happy when the true enemy of the region became our target. I was never a believer that we were in immediate danger from anything Saddam and his regime could do in 2002-2003. I did, however, believe that he was biding his time until the sanctions could be whittled away and around (which was happening). Now we are in for it. Because if any of the major extremist interests in Iraq is allowed to conquer the others it will be a blood bath that will make our war with Iraq look like children playing in the sprinklers. If that is allowed to happen the victor will take the wealth of the world to create a super power with us in its cross hairs. Given modern resources this could occurr in less than a decade. The administration: I didn't vote for them and believe we can move to change and renew our situation with diligent effort that is reasoned and constructive. I believe the American people will rally more around innovative solutions than comments about Bush's drinking addiction. Torture: I have argued unflinchingly against any use of torture or excuse for torture. On right wing threads I have engaged in very heated debates in which I declared my position to be this. "If I could save the entire human race by torturing one person, I would not do it nor would I ever condone it." immense deficit spending: I don't get it and don't feel that I have a qualified position. "-- anything else" Everything else is just fine.
