We debated, our House and Senate debated and we had a vote. That's the way democracy works. You don't have to like it, you can disagree until your fingers turn red, but, what is done is done, and your typed words aren't going to change that, nor are your Monday morning analysis. Well, that's where you are quite wrong. Today is election day, if you had not noticed, and this is the day where the people get to vote, not Congress. Debating whether the reasons for Iraq made sense or not was entirely the issue at hand. Committing the country to war is something no president should do without justification; and whatever justification a president shall use had better stand up to scrutiny. Iraq War II does not stand up to scrutiny, not in the least. The justifications used to invade Iraq don't pass any sniff tests, and the conduct of the on-going war makes it clear that the administration had a flawed plan from the start, based on wild-eyed assumptions. And now, hopefully, the American people will vote and will change the administration, in a large part as a repudiation of the disastrous approaches and policies of George W. Bush. You are being insincere in your criticisms of Kerry, spouting all the canned RNC lines. I recognize these lines for what they are because I am a conservative. Voting against the party line is an honor when the party is serving up a reprehensible dish.
