Well, that seems to be the point. The issues themselves are important ones, and I know there are some pro-life Democrats. Not many, but some, just as there are pro-abortion Repubs. At first, I read through this very defensively, but as I looked at it, I think all these issues are good ones. Some seem loaded because of the way the media has spun stuff..."Iraq was a war of choice." Some people agree with that, and some don't. I think it is a good idea, of course, to not be always asserting ourselves militarily (think back to Clinton's Kosovo deal, where they carpetbombed a bunch of Serbs), and I also think it's important to have a consistent policiy of when we DO work militarily. For example, I tend to agree with Iraq, but if we're going to use the "free the Iraqis from a brutal dictator argument," then we should also be dealing with stuff in the Sudan, Somalia, etc.

A thoughtful post. I would respond however that the Sudan does not represent a threat to our national security and were not developing WMD. We can't fix every place and that is where the UN could be useful if they'd just stop being a debating society.
