That is OK Koikaze, I am a registered Republican myself (but was unable to give my vote to the standard bearer in the last few elections), and I think that invasion of Iraq, or even setting as a valid political goal to be achieved by force the removal of the "regime" in another sovereign nation will lead to unprecedented calamities. I hope that Congress will see the light and understand that it is not our business to determine the form of government elsewhere. Actually, there are many countries that cannot afford democracy at this stage of their national lives, but our barging in and dictating, without a provocation, will lead to lowering the threshold of what is called "justified preemptive military moves."
And that has nothing to do with Margolis ravings by the way. Eisenhauer knew ahead of time of the French/British attempt to take back Suez, and said nothing to prevent it. his "magnanimity" was under the duress of a nuclear blackmail sent out by Bulganin. That is when the seeds of the Cuban missile crisis were sewn, IMHO.
