Sorry, man, but you're wrong. Trust me on this, plenty of liberals and people of conscience oppose this war with a full understanding of history, a good understanding of pacifism, and with a plethora of facts. For myself, I think pretty good most of the time.

Yeah, the war promoters would love for us to forget such incredibly important details such as the delicate structure of the middle east politics, the widespread and growing anti-american sentiment that was already there, and the fact that Osama bin Laden's crusade was created the last time we did this. All besides the fact that we could've easily disarmed Saddam without the need for war, if that was the administration's desire. Yes, those thousands of dead Iraqis, and the hundred plus dead Americans would still be alive today. As everyone can see, Iraq is not hailing us a liberators - report after report from the ground in Iraq is showing that although they hate Saddam, they don't like America either, especially in the form of an invading army.
And this is beside sthe fact that most of teh free world is against us taking such completely wreckless and juvenile action.
Given much more compelling reasons like genocide, republicans didn't want to have anything to do with
going to war a few years ago. No oil to be had in the Balkans, I suppose.
There'll be
a lot of questions about this war - of which Bush would rather not get out.
Want to know who the true American patriots are? They're the ones protesting this war
