Personally I was and am for the war in Iraq for reasons beyond finding WMDs. That would get us into a whole conversation in an entirely different direction than this thread is intended, though. It's a shame that men and women have to die for a cause, but unfortunately it's inevitable and personally I find what's happening in Iraq to be worth it, or at least twenty years from now it will be......
......But like I said, I didn't find the WMD argument to be that important in the grand scheme of things, so I guess that's a personal stance.

Gatorade Frost, please take a look at the stuff I've posted at the first two links,

Then, consider what is contained at the following link,

and post your reply, (if you got that far..... ) there.
<b>I'm wondering why you are so adament......</b> in view of Bush's record of decisions, deficits, penchant for secrecy, resistance to all oversight and accountability, and appointments of a group of people who formulate and execute foreign, and military policy who are almost exclusively aligned with goals that benefit Israel, first and foremost, to an unprecedented extreme......<b>about not wanting to restore even the check & balance of one legislative branch of congress to the opposition party ?</b>
I cannot....for the life of me....and I've looked for answers everywhere..... identify what it is that "democrats" have done...that makes you willing to leave Bush and his group in control of our entire government....instead of using the democrats as a small "check" on all of this. There is no subpoena or investigative power...the way it is now...the way you say you want to keep it.....in the hands of anyone other than Bush and his rubber stamp congress. Why do you want that to continue? Are deficits now, smaller than they would be, or pork spending lower, or accountability to the people, respect for the law, open government, less than they would be, if a democratic controlled house or senate, took over next January?
What on earth is it? Is it about the Bush/Cheney premise that we will be "hit" if they aren't in total control of all three branches of government? Is it really necessary to have an administration that is unaccountable, and indistinguishable from the government in Telaviv (at least from the standpoint of anyone who resides anywhere in the middle east...outside of Israel) for "us" to avoid getting "hit"?
