51. That statement is not true. Not all oppose war. Some people, for example
were very supportive of the Israel/US war against Lebanon last summer. And, from what i understand, many, like hillary, were supportive of a strike against Iraq in the beginning.
Gore supported war against Iraq during the Bush1 term. and many other u.s. interventions.
So you could argue that these interventions were all necessary, but they did constitute war, and that means that many here do support war, if they feel it necessary.

I have no doubt that almost no one wants war for the sake of war, but isn't that more or less universal?
Even Bush would have not gone into Iraq if Saddam had done the bidding of the US elite.

Hillary not only stood behind bush at the IWR vote, but never said anything opposing the Iraq invasion until many months after bushie went in. Then she started making noises about it perhaps being "mismanaged". (perhaps you could enlighten me, when did hillary first raise any kind of concern about the war in Iraq?)
