Obviously I am against the war, but it is interesting to think about the motives of many Democrats in this regard. Oftentimes they are as impure as we suspect the administration's to be, which isn't surprising, I suppose. Before the last election, I noticed that it was a few Democrats who luckily chose to put stress on the problems of the war...I mean it could never have happened, so it's not like many of our elected leaders are just recognizing problems and speaking the truth. They might speak the truth sometimes, but it depends on if they think it will 'work' or not. I guess that's how the system works a lot of times, which might tell you something about the system. However, the strong opposition of some Republicans is interesting, and shouldn't be dismissed. And even if someone is a hypocrite in many ways (and we all are on some levels), that doesn't make them wrong. Great post.
