Many liberals would rather see America lose than see Bush win. That is the bottom line. They don't care about our security or future; hatred of the president comes first.
It's nice to see you post something sensible, MissCatholic.
And many conservatives would rather see America lose than Bush lose.
The war may have been justified on humanitarian grounds. Though doing the right thing for the wrong reasons isn't a free pass. If anyone had actually paid attention at the time, they would have noted that the CIA didn't think that he had WMD's, but admited it was feasable.
Meanwhile, genocide continues in the Sudan while we do nothing. Will we wait until fifteen years after the fact (like we did in Iraq - you do realize that Saddam gassing the Kurds happened in the mid-80's, don't you?).
And still, the right hamstrings our millitary by overrelying on reserves - who are being used as cannon fodder by the neo-cons who care more about doing war on the cheap (and thus freeing up monies for pork like SDI and mininukes), rather than increasing recruitment for the regular army.
That's the paradox though. Modern liberals, for the most part, care about our troops but question the rationale given for the war. Modern conservatives have little but contempt for our troops, giving them little more than lip service and photo ops while shorting them on armor and recalling them for multiple tours after they have already met their obligation.
