Pat Buchanen was saying the same thing at the beginning of the Iraq War. Was Buchanen ‘code pink’ OR have we just failed to admit there were republicans who didn’t support going to war. (Ron Paul, Rand Paul, Buchanen, etc.)
My first posts on Free Republic were against the invasion of Iraq. I was bashed mercilessly here over and over for trying to make a simple point.
Husain was secular, the 9-11 attacks were religious. We had just embarked on a war in Afghanistan and history advised caution in the regard. My thoughts were that Husain was currently in check and the options in that region are tinpot dictators or religious fanatics. I was stating the case for holding off on Iraq.
I got flamed by everyone. EVERYONE!!!
