Actually, I'm probably the most "rabid conservative" you'll meet in these parts. However, I'm one of those apparently rare conservatives who can't seem to put critical thinking processes on the shelf when a Republican is in the White House.
It is against the UN Charter to change a government. Meanwhile, back in the good ol' USA, a declaration of war is required from Congress to do what we're doing today.
And, I must say, I found the rather amateurish attempt that was made by the Bush administration to link Iraq to 9/11 to be an embarrassment.
Maybe I'm just a bit cynical after seeing nobody held accountable for the criminal activities of the 90's that trashed the US economy? Or maybe it was the image of Bush kowtow'ing to a Chinese dictator that brought me around. But probably, more than anything else, it was Bush's allegiance to Nafta that pushed me over the edge.
Interesting, isn't it, how evil the French are for opposing the war in Iraq, and how we hear no criticism of Mexico?
