I don't have time right now to respond to every point...but obviously the conservatives who opposed the Kosovo war weren't against all wars. Did I ever claim or imply otherwise?

Heck, I'm not against all wars. I fully supported the Afghan war on this thread. Believe it or not, not even Al Gore is against all wars! He was cheerleader for the Kosovo and Haiti intervention and voted for the Gulf War I. Hence, my point about the misuse of the word "antiwar."

Only a minority of antiwar folks on Gulf War II (left or right) are against all war, hence you are attacking a straw man as seems to be your wont. On the other hand, if you have any proof that a majority of folks who opposed Gulf War II were consistent pacists and agains "all wars" please provide it. I'm all ears.

you implied that you thought it was inconsistent for them to oppose war X but support war Y. close enough
