>>> More than we needed to go to Iraq. And it needed it desperately. Whatever. Dallas needed the George W. Bush Expressway, too. But the point is, did they need it worse than New Orleans needed levee improvements? (Okay, the Bush Expressway is a toll road, but the point holds conceptually). Iraq was, in the opinion of most people, something that needed to be done for our national security. I know you don't agree, but most people do (or did at the time). National defense is the most important function of our government, so it is essential that funding go there first, before ANY other expenditures. When the argument is made that the "money went to Iraq instead", you know you're dealing with a Sheehan/Michael Moore/MoveOn.org liberal -- devoid of rational thought. These people have marginalized their own importance to the process, however, and have no power, which is the way it should be.
