You want war, I don't.

Karen don't take this as an attack on you, I am responding this way to take advantage of your post to make a point. We get an awful lot of posts here from people who do not want us to move on Saddam that suggest that we who do, are some sort of evil warmongers. The inference is made that the "neocons" in the government can't wait to start killing people because they evil conservatives who enjoy war. That we are all a bunch of war-loving "Jingos."

I don't think of myself this way, and I don't believe that the people in Government are as described. It is possible to be honorable and still think action needs to be taken. Constant reference to "Cheney's cronies," does not help matters.

FL is after those of us here who favor action to tone down our rhetoric. I think the real toning down needs to be done by those who favor us not taking action.
