The reasons the neo-cons claim for this war are not rooted in logic or American patriotisim.

Perhaps not. But you can't deny that an Iraq under U.S. control will allow us to place military next door to Islamic nations that are hostile to America and our allies. It will allow the free flow of oil from the region and give us bases near Afganistan, and more importantly, China.

This War is justified by two words...National Security.

You can not deny that this War will enhance U.S. security abroad and at home.

I did not say I was against this war did I? But the paleo-cons make great points that will benefit our Republic if listened too--if only to sharpen our understandings of the need for this war.

If one has seen my posts you will see I am not a peacenik by any means but I will drink a taost with Raimondo rather than Frum any day.
