I know you right wingers use war as a form of birth control and military on-the-job training, but those of us on the left have a bit more of a thought process about something of this gravity. We believe you should only go to war when you are threatened or attacked. Saddam was no threat to us and he hadn't attacked us or his neighbors. And, even if threatened, war is the last tactic you employ. Bush not only used it as his first tactic, but his only tactic. The arms inspectors, who were right while Bush was wrong, were discredited by the right wing slime machine, so that Bush could have his glorious days of slaughtering a country too poor and weak to be called third world. The U.N. meetings were jokes and Bush thoroughly dissed the rest of the world. Colin Powell lied to them that he knew where the WMD were located. The only way going to war was a coin flip is if you believed the mushroom cloud story. And, since you probably did, just admit you were snookered by crooks. Don't try to defend your mistake by accepting a bunch of tall tales and rationalizations. We all sometimes make mistakes in trusting creeps when we shouldn't. Everything you said about Schip is there in mega form for the war in Iraq. It has cost MUCH more than expected and lasted much longer than the Republicrook administration said it would. It has been much more horribly managed than any domestic program, including FEMA. And it is certain that the GOP is planning on many more years of war to energize their base of maroons and get them to vote for them. Which also means the war profiteers and criminals will also support them. So, everything you say about a cheap domestic program is more than true for an expensive war program. Yet, you consider one delusional and one rational. Wayne, go back to the drawing board on this one.
