In fact, if one searches the internet, there are more statements from prominent Democrats warning about the danger of Saddam than from Republicans. Amazing that they all call Bush a liar now. It isn't very complicated: Bush told Congress that Saddam was behind 9/11. They believed him, and thus supported the war. Now they are calling him a liar because he lied. Tom

Amazing that they all call Bush a liar now. no, it's not amazing... it's what they do and get away with repeatedly lie your test just underscores why i loathe (in a general sort of way <g>) the mainstream media, they would rather spend months parsing 16 words in a state of the union address which referenced a possibly tainted british intelligence report ....equating that with lying, than exposing the blatant dissembling that occurs routinely in the democrat party

You'd almost think Orwell was alive today. "Pacifism is a psychological curiosity rather than a political movement. Some of the extremer pacifists, starting out with a complete renunciation of violence, have ended by warmly championing Hitler and even toying with antisemitism. This is interesting, but it is not important. 'Pure' pacifism, which is a by-product of naval power, can only appeal to people in very sheltered positions. Moreover, being negative and irresponsible, it does not inspire much devotion." On the relationship between intellectuals and patriotism: "England is perhaps the only great country whose intellectuals are ashamed of their own nationality. In left-wing circles it is always felt that there is something slightly disgraceful in being an Englishman and that it is a duty to snigger at every English institution, from horse racing to suet puddings. It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during 'God save the King' than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro-Russian, but always anti-British. … If you were an intellectual you sniggered at the Union Jack and regarded physical courage as barbarous. … Patriotism and intelligence will have to come together again. It is the fact that we are fighting a war, and a very peculiar kind of war, that may make this possible."
