OK, if we go your route for the moment: YES, they sold their souls to the devil and voted for war. They backed down and did the politically expedient thing. Why does this magically absolve them from blame? If you consider this a crime, they were co-conspirators plain and simple.
The 81 Dems (who comprise the top leadership of the Democratic Party, btw)who voted 'yes' did so knowing that their vote was contributing to Congressional Approval for war.
Is politically motivated aquiescence a legitimate excuse to authorize war?
