Congress voted 77-23 to authorize war in Iraq. The House voted 296-133 to authorize war. Apparently the President "brainwashed" a lot more people than just the conservatives, so many people that even Kerry voted for the war. If Kerry can be so easily "brainwashed" as you put it, I guess its a good thing he wasn't elected President.

I'm pretty sure there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq that were moved to Syria, but let's assume for all intents and purposes that there were none in Iraq. Either way, Saddam refused to allow the US to investigate, therefore we had no way of knowing whether there were weapons of mass destruction or not. Maybe you and other liberals would rather we just assume there are none and we just sit still and wait for them to possibly bomb us. But I'd rather have us liberate Iraq to ensure our own safety. Even if that means that some troops may have to sacrifice their lives for this country. It's true that America might gain advantages dealing with oil, but that was clearly not the primary reason for invading Iraq.

Were there weapons of mass destruction in Iraq? Not when we got there. But knowing what we know now, if given a chance to take the 2002 vote over again, I'd vote to invade Iraq in a heartbeat in order to protect our country.

that is the most retarded bullshit i have ever read in my life, the war in iraq is just a suicide attempt, our moron of a president wanted revenge for his father and Bush even admitted there was no proof of WofMD. America is no longer the land of the free, America is a bully now, using its 'just' powers to control the world, fuck the war, fuck bush and his retarded cabinet. the only reason he won was because of the citizens that cant even read. yeah thats right, the midwest, even tho bush has been the worst president ever, jsut in his 1st term alone. Mr. Washington is probably rolling in his grave.

going into iraq has nothing to do with gay marriage, just like bush has very little do to with gay marriage.

whether or not we should be in iraq, we are, and no bitching and complaining will change that.

realistically, iraq probably did have WMD, and they are probably in syria right now. keep in mind that hussein wouldn't let UN inspectors in for three days. that's plenty of time to shuffle some nukes across the border. whether or not there was anything to shuffle across, we don't know.

sending people into iraq isn't a party-specific action. many democrats also support the war. no one was "brainwashed," people were misled. there is a huge difference.

don't act like bush is making this country into a 1984 scenario because he's not. i personally voted for kerry, but bush is our president so people should accept that and deal with it.

whether or not you agree that we should be in iraq, the fact is, we ARE in iraq and americans are dying for us. our people are putting their lives on the lines so that, as they believe, our country can stay free of the fear or terrorism and WMDs. so we should support our troops and not use michael moore's "Fahrenheit 9-11" as our guide for political thinking.

chris, don't think this was specifically directed to you, because it wasn't.

did you know that over half of the south andt he midwest dont even have a highschool diploma? so u really want to trust in a president that was elected based on their decisions?

having a high school diploma doesn't necessarily mean you're smarter or better at making decisions than someone without a high school diploma. many of the people in the south and midwest without a high school diploma are probably smarter than you are. with logic like that, i'm willing to bet that you attend a community college. sorry i don't ususally attack people's characters but your statement was just ridiculous, typical of an ill-informed liberal.
