One of my points has been that truth is the most important thing. If you think that caring about truth is a leftist idea, then I feel sorry for you. I have also mentioned that I believe in the just war doctrine. Are you saying that it is left-wing to believe in the just war doctrine? I hope that's not what you're saying, because that would be like inadvertently saying that unjust wars are a conservative thing. And as a conservative, I would have to strongly disagree. At least that's not how it has been in the past. But maybe neoconservatism is different?

I’m saying your posts reads like talking points from the Paul/Kucinich fringe (I presume you are a paleo-isolationist, which is essentially indistinguishable from the anti-war leftists on foreign policy today). No Conservative wants an unjust war, which you know full well, and there’s been nothing post-9/11 in our conduct that has been unjust where we are concerned in that region of the world. As the other poster said, we haven’t nearly gone far enough. But bandying about phrases such as “sovereign nation” and associating them with Saddam’s murderous regime is repugnant. That just gives whatever tyranny under a given dictator moral legitimacy when they are entitled to none.
