ddw: I don't know for sure, but I'll bet Bobert has been concerned for (and active in promoting) human rights since long before GWB's war. As far as I'm concerned the Bush chickenhawks and their talk radio and congressional supporters are johnny-come-f'in-latelies to the human rights movement. The human rights justification for this war was a sorry-ass, lame third choice when the WMD and Al-Quaeda excuses didn't pan out. This war was never conceived or sold as being about relieving the suffering of the Iraqi people. If it had been, and we'd been told that, I'll bet Bobert (and I) would have been willing to listen, Can't gaurantee that I'd have approved giving Bush a blank check for war even then. But nobody can pretend that this war is only about human rights. Before the war, why didn't Bush and company show us pictures of the thousands and thousands that Saddam wiped out? And if it's about human rights, when do we invade six or eight other countries I can think of?

Sheesh.
