Don't act all shocked, you're not fooling anyone. Do you know anything about the Hussein regime in Iraq, it's history, and the USA's relationship with it? Being anti-war is fine. In politics, it's important to remember that militaries exist, dictators exist, and people get killed.

"it was the people, who gives a frick about Hussein. "

Do you think that the Iraqi people will be better off with four more years of Bush as US president? Can you honestly say to me that the Hussein was in any way the legimitmate government of Iraq?

There are plenty of reasons to oppose war in general, and the war in Iraq in particular. I say it's important to keep our eyes wide open and not suffer any delusions about how the world works. I remember when Bush I and Clinton attacked Iraq. Letting the Republicans win the rhetorical fight against us over the war issue is going to cost us all in the end. You'd do better by the Iraqi people by making sure some rich unemployed guy with a lot of time on his hands doesn't blow the election for us because a faction of comfortable Democrats who don't like soldiers and war think America will be mad that Saddam Hussein is no longer in power.

That being said, I'd vote for Gephardt over John Forbes-Kerry any day.
