There is not a chance that the U.S. would have ever gone to war had we known then what we do now. Neither conservatives nor democrats would have supported it.
As Kerry said, it is the wrong war in the wrong place. Bush was wrong regardless of the outcome of the elections.
As most Europeans seem to understand better than the U.S., wars have a terrible human cost. They are justified only as a last resort, in response to an immediate, terrible threat.
Our soldiers exist to defend our freedom. Our soldiers are not Iraqis. They should not die so that Iraqis can have an election.
