The Dems oppose it because they are envious that Bush is running the war instead of their guy. If the war happened under a democrat administration it would be touted as a victory for human rights, and the media would be playing right along.

Hmmm. Perhaps.

And perhaps Republicans would be opposing it, as 'Klinton trying to divert attention from (name your cause celebre here)"

Unfortunately, this war has become a political battlefield .. but it was always going to be one.

Oh, and in case I am accused of hypocrisy, I again spell out my position: I am a liberal who opposes your president and my prime minister .. but who supports war on Saddam Hussein (mostly for the reasons outlined in the article above).

I fear we are fighting the right war, for the wrong reasons ... but the net result will still be the removal of an evil dictator who needs removing.
