This has nothing to do with whether individual citizens were pro or anti invasion.
This has nothing to do with whether invading was a good idea.
I realize it's about history, but it seems that whenever Republicans or Democrats are to blame for anything, they go back to the past to point out how the other side did wrong pertaining to that issue in the past.
Which is sometimes a valid point. However, ignoring that both sides are doing it when it's the case is as bad as wrongly assigning blame.
This, to me, is folly unless you're only talking about media representation, which you were to a point.
Only to a point.
And it is not folly, as you appear to miss the point. It's to prevent the rewriting of history, as I stated, as the Democrats continually try to paint Iraq as if both sides didn't get us there. I really don't understand why this causes such an issue for some people.
Iraq = bad. Got it! How we got there should be honestly approached and remembered.
P.S. Not "everyone" was on board, unless you're only talking

Bush is where h has always been on it: Absent.
The Clintons actively helped China for payoffs. Bush is just ignoring it.

There are dumber statements to make, but it would take effort.
#1) My post was about history, and the rewriting of events. OBVIOUSLY it is ABOUT what is in the past.
#2) Current events don't birth anew each day. They come from somewhere. History is important.
Again, my post was ABOUT history. I'm all for knocking Iraq. I am NOT for lying about how we got there or how everyone was on board at the time.
"When we pretend history didn't happen as it did it does everyone a disservice."
