. . . I feel they are anti-war because the war implies an occupation and nation building world empire agenda. Then they are ignorant of history. If they believe this, then Germany,, Japan, Italy, and South Korea are all subject states of the United States of America. This country has not attempted empire building since the Spanish American War.
These same "anti-war" idiots thought that the Soviet Union's activities vis-a-vis adding "client states" was merely a need for a buffer between them and the war mongering Capitalists.
You make the mistake that being anti-war in the case of Iraq is the same as being anti-war anytime anyplace for any reason. Nice attempt at tar brushing. Like I said I am pro Iraq mission up to a point but I am not so partisan to tar anti-Iraq war conservatives becuase unlike leftist anti-warites - conservatives against the war have laser focused reasons for opposition (whose reasons I may not approve) of do center around what is good for America rather than based on a world socialist anti-war agenda.
These anti-war conservatives are not the "same "anti-war" idiots" you describe.
Shame on you for thinking that.
