Actually, Ake, there was alot of push back from alot of Dems on invading Iraq... Not enough but not just token opposition either...

The problem was back then that Bush still hqad the flag and 9/11 to wrap everything he wanted to do in so it was really hard to break ranks but Google it up and you'll see there was a decent amount of no votes from the Dems given that climate...

All of which adds to Strings observation that the Dems tend to be more free thinkers in that they rarely do that GOP goose-lock-step...
