The extent to which I was against our involvement in a military action with Iraq was due in no small part to the kind of rationalization and illogical, immoral thinking evident in this thread.

Sure, I was upset with Clinton's behavior but more so with the American public's reaction to it. I'm not Falwellian in thinking that we got what we deserved when terrorism struck our homeland...

...but I am freshly convinced that we are morally bankrupt beyond having a right to voice (especially militarilly) an opinion on the activities of other countries.

We forfeited that right so that we could keep a charming president in office so as to not upset comfortable economic conditions. Could we be more bankrupt?

The fact that, after the dust has cleared, there is no perceptible difference in your minds between a Clinton who sent out a well-schooled disinformation crew to lie and decieve, and a Bob Livingston who removed himself from consideration as Speaker of the House because he would be standing in judgement of something to closely related to (or at least he was smart enough to know it would be percieved that way) that immorality in which he had also participated, stuns me.
