I am thinking about it. It is not a crime for one to be against iraq war, afgan war, vietnam war, gulf war, serbia war etc. The last war the extreme part of the left was really onboard for was WW2 because the beloved soviets (of the old left and some are brave enough to admit their mistake in their analysis of the soviets) were involved. Russ Feingold for instance was against vietnam, serbia, bosnia, iraq. I was just critisising the anti-american nuts who view america as an imperialist power and the cause of all or most of the worlds problems. I have talked with slyvestor and i think he believes this but maybe i am wrong.

res- I don't even think there are any who were against Desert Storm. So I wish, for the same of accuracy, you would not say such a thing. H. J. Res. 77 and S. J. Res. 2 cited the War Powers Resolution as constituting "specific statutory authorization within the meaning of section 5(b) of the War Powers Resolution." Among Republicans, 42 of 44 voted for the resolution Among Democrats, ten backed the resolution, while 45 voted against it. Democrats voting against the resolution included Senators Joseph Biden (Democrat of Delaware), the current chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Tom Daschle (Democrat of South Dakota), the current Senate Majority Leader, Carl Levin (Democrat of Michigan), the current chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and Patrick Leahy (Democrat of Vermont), the current chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Senate passed S. J. Res. 2 in a 52-47 vote later that day, with then-Senator Alan Cranston (Democrat of California) abstaining. H. J. Res. 77 was passed by a 250 to 183 vote, with two abstentions. Republican lawmakers backed the House Joint Resolution by a margin of 164 to three. Democratic voted 179 against the resolution, 86 for the resolution and two legislators abstaining. The one ndependent joined the majority of Democrats in opposing the resolution. Democrats who opposed the resolution included current House Minority Leader, Representative Richard Gephardt (Democrat of Missouri), current House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi (Democrat of California), and then-Representative Norman Mineta (Democrat of California), the current Secretary of Transportation, and then-Representative Charles Schumer (Democrat of New York), the current senior senator from that state.
