I sadly admit that I was deceived by these war mongers. But after the years of lord McCain and willie Kristol trying to take Rummy out as Defense Secretary, I saw the light.

Kristol is a particularly NASTY piece of work. A real slimeball and weasel.

I was against both wars before they started. I thought we did have to go to Afghanistan, but we should have bombed the crap out of the Taliban / Al Qaeda and left. Iraq to me was unwinnable from the start. The problem has to do with how the British and French drew the maps after WWI. Iraq and Syria are really 4 countries (Sunni, Shiite, Kurd, Christian). Neo-cons in my opinion think everybody wants to wear jeans and eat McDonalds, that people in the Middle East want to be Americans. It was a pipe dream. My biggest reason for being against the war though is I knew that the left would politicize it and eventually the military would be facing another quagmire. That didn’t take to long. Don’t beat yourself up over the neo-cons, I think their influence is coming to an end...
