There is a sad irony in the support of the right for spending $1 trillion (not to mention the thousands of lives lost) to bring democracy and guaranteed Constitutional rights to Iraqi citizens -- the right to work, the right to join trade unions, minimum wage, universal health care, ... -- and oppose those same rights and scream "socialism" when it comes to providing those same rights (through legislation) to many US citizens.
