Re: we will take a giant step back in our military defense. Let's not lie here. What just happened was a naked aggression in Iraq. Bush is a war criminal. The world hasn't seen such outright illegality and since Hitler's invasion of Poland and Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. Defense has nothing whatsoever to do with the evil that Bush is perpetrating. All he's interested in is converting your tax dollar in death and profits for his pals at Halliburton and Bechtel. It's the most shameful example of deceit on behalf of the greedy that we've suffered since the travesty of Viet Nam.

It seems that Dean has selectively supported the use of force. Several days ago, ss posted an article from Time that includes the interesting comment that he had "mixed feelings" about Reagan's support for the Contras. Message 19107363 Dean, who has been mischaracterized as the reincarnation of George McGovern, is certainly no traditional liberal or even a traditional dove. "I told the peace people not to fall in love with me," he told me over breakfast in Manchester, N.H., last week. He said he had opposed Vietnam, but he had supported the first Gulf War, the interventions in Bosnia and Kosovo, and the war in Afghanistan. In the 1980s he had "mixed feelings" about Ronald Reagan's support for the contras in Nicaragua and opposed a unilateral nuclear freeze. "I'm not a pacifist. I believe there are times when pre-emptive force is justified, but there has to be an immediate threat, and there just wasn't in this case."
