Like...if you disagreed with Dubbya's policy, you were "unpatriotic".
The words were, "You're either with us or against us."
Look at where that got us.
What ever happened to "free speech"?
Maybe it all got lost on the diversions like "intelligent design", "flag burning",
"gay marriage" and "stem cells".
In my humble view, we need not continue to waste more lives on the insanity that our "beloved" president has created.
Yes, there is a mess. "Stay the course" won't work anymore.
If Dubbya is indeed responsible for the direction that he's taken this country, and other countries also, it is time for answers to be found in the World Court in Hague, wherein he desrves to have a fair hearing on the charges of being the war criminal, that he is.
I can't wait for the trial.

Ultimatum... what? How many times did we go around and around with them about inspections all thru the late 1990's. Its so easy to forget. Ultimatum after how many warnings? For God's sake those inspectors got thrown out of the country time after time. Did you completely forget this. Go back and read about the UN inspections in Iraq and what the inspectors had to deal with. I am more than willing to be accurate. You have got to hold to this also. If you say we should have given it more time even though Iraq constantly balked and lied etc.. chunked the inspectors out, that we STILL could have worked something in the long run, ok. But to completely forget how much trouble the UN had inspecting anything in Iraq is disingenious history, and thats being kind. I have no agenda here. I want accuracy. I want people to go back and put themselves in that moment and ask what was going on AT THAT TIME. You cant just take the easy way out and forget it all.
