I knew it was a mistake from Day One - but few listen to ol' Pardek.

Senator Pardek, I don't think it was a mistake - look at the WMD's that were voluntarily turned over to the US by Libya, after Libya's leader woke up and took a look around him. That was a huge victory, IMO, yet it is conveniently overlooked by many who constantly criticize GW.

But, having said that, I do believe there is a point people become "war weary." I don't like war at all, so I was at that point before the war even started. However, I do support what I believe is our nation's effort to create a democracy in Iraq, because such a change could eventually alter the landscape throughout that region, for the better, in my view. So, right now, I support the war -- though if you ask me the same question in 2008, I don't know how I'll answer. I hope to see a much more finite outcome by then, even though I realize we may continue to be fighting a war on terror for a long time.
