Subject: RE: BS: The war: Nader's fault?
Ron has made a valid point. there is no gaurantee that we would not be at war with someone else in office.

What CAN be said for a certainty is that this war was the reason that Dubbya wanted to be president in the first place. He and his people were planning it during the campaign (while he was telling us that the United States should not be in the buisness of nation building).

If we are to assign blame anywhere it should go to the lazy idiots who didn't bother to vote in the last presidential election. If all of the people in America who were marching against the war in recent months had voted (I'd be willing to bet that about two thirds of them didn't), that alone would have put another candidate far enough over the top to have made the Florida race unimportant.
