Xenophon
Gone and forgotten
Really?Since "the State" is starting the wars in the first place, mainly due to the support of older voters, then those older voters should have to have a stake in the fight.
In the last war, there were a whole bunch of people, mostly older voters, who felt that they wanted to fight a war, but they didn't want to pay for it through higher taxes.
Hell, we're still fighting those two wars, and people on the right are STILL complaining about their taxes!
It was the government, the GoP and the Democrats that caused the Iraq and Afghan wars, not the voters.
I don't recall a speacil public vote for war, when was that held exactly?
The government is voted in by the voters. The majority of the voters who put the GoP regime in place were older voters.
The makeup of our government is the responsibility of the people who voted for them.
And in this case, the people who voted them BACK INTO OFFICE again in 2004.
You just condemned THE LEFT for the Iraq war.
DEMOCRATS controlled the senate in 2003 when they held the Iraq vote.
Didn't you know that?
Again, this is where my other axiom comes to ind about both sides being the same.
You are trying to blame one side and hold your side as noble, when your side is as guilty as the opposite.
If 'the left' as described as Democrats had voted 'no' there would have been no Iraq war.
BOTH parties and sides are gulity.
