Im basically a libertarian but not of the neoconfederate school. The South attacked 1st, resorted to conscription 1st, was fighting to preserve the illegitimate and evil institution of slavery, hanged a lot of people who were pro Union in Tennesee and Virginia quickly after secession, thus I take the pro Northern view. Im not gung ho on Iraq because I believe Saudi Arabia is the real enemy.

The Revolutionaries attacked the Redcoats first, were led by a slave-owning Virginian, killed Tories who were loyal to England. The British troops emancipated slaves as they moved through the rebellious Colonies. Thus it looks like you would take King George's side as well.

Don't be a short sighted fool. The way to Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria is by way of Iraq (not to mention Afganistan on Irans eastern border).

Bush is playing a serious game of strategic dominoes.
