Do you have any one of your dear ones who is in Iraq? Do you have any of your dear ones lost in battle that is senseless and meaningless?

Chin, you're WAY off base here. Even during WW2 there were those who held the same position as you do today about the Iraq war. That all who died in that war did so because of FDR imperialism and that WW2 was completely and utterly senseless and meaningless. I think history has proved them wrong when taken with the facts that both Germany and Japan owe their prosperity today directly to US treatment after the war.

Sounds good, sounds like a humane plea but the whole premise is completely wrong.

They would have painted FDR with the same brush that you're painting Bush and Cheney. Would anyone in their right mind think that WW2 was senseless and meaningless today?? I don't think so. There are many direct correlations that can be made between the 2 wars.

The rest of your post has no baring on the topic and is clouding the issue. Liberals have taken the tact that if you haven't either been in or have loved ones in the war then you've no right to either support it or comment on it. This is utter nonsense and only serves as a dialog block.
