I know our political views may differ a bit, but I think you should check out:

It will make you smile and quite possibly vote for Kucinich.

Clever of you to neglect to mention most of the Western World's support for Hussein during the Iran-Iraq war, which included selling him conventional arms and biological weapons.

Please don't be a pussy.

If you're going to suggest that the absence of a barely-relevant fact in an analogy that wasn't even the point of the post was somehow driven by an agenda of my own, then:

A. Have the balls to sign your name to the accusation.
B. You're wrong.

Among the "many reasons" that I believe the Iraq War "had to be done" is this: we made the monster, and it was our responsibility to destroy it. I don't blame Reagan for doing what had to be done to win the bigger war with Communism, but I will readily admit that many of his foreign policy decisions had unintended long-term consequences which have proven... problematic. Had you asked rather than accusing me, I would have gladly said so.

And Cheesie, I'm voting Libertarian this time around, even if it means voting for Ron Paul. (OK, I just threw up a little in the back of my mouth.)
