Reply #35: My biggest thing is the Iraq war [View All]

It always was. To me it is immoral and I feel an unending disgust for those who got us into it because it is so hard to get out of it with honor. I blame Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Judith Miller, the NYT, Chalabi, and pink tutu Dems who were too scared to caution this country against this idiocy.

I felt comfort in knowing that Dean opposed it and knew it was wrong. Likewise, I am uncomfortable at Kerry's lack of voice at the wrongness and illegitimacy of it all.

I knew that if it all went to hell, my preferred candidate would not perpetuate a suicide mission. He has more of an affinity for potential draftees because he has a son at perfect draft age. If we have a draft, his son, and his kid's friends are at risk. He would never have sent his son to die for a lie.

Unquestioning support will make Kerry think it is ok no matter what he does. I am here to say that it is not ok. I also do not want Dems to deceive kids into thinking that Kerry will not draft them because I honestly think the realities of the numbers mean he will have to if he wants to stay in Iraq.

That is where I am coming from...it is genuine outrage and uneasyness.

But you may disregard my cautions if you like. I am just warning people what I see coming, just like I spoke out against Iraq prior to the vote.
