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.

No, I'm not an isolationist. You have bought into Bush's neoconservatism, so since you are so far in that direction, anyone who is not with you, in your view, must be an "isolationist" or a leftist. As I already stated, I believe in the just war doctrine and in going by the constitution. That's hardly "fringe." If it is, we might as well throw out the constitution, since from what I'm hearing, only fringe whackos believe in it anymore.

And when I used the term "sovereign nation" I was in no way talking about Saddam, but the country of Iraq, meaning the regular people who had nothing to do with 9/11. Like most people, from the start I have been all for going after those who were responsible for that attack. That would be Osama bin Laden, right? Have we got him yet?
