oh I don't know stanky... perhaps bush should've worked with the U.N. during the inspections instead of blatantly undermining them by issuing ultimatums. maybe, just maybe, congress shouldn't have granted bush a blank check to wage a pre-emptive war using "all means necessary". bush's doctrine of pre-emption violates international law, the charter of the United Nations and our own long-term security interests. It forecloses alternatives to war before we have even tried to pursue them. we are now engaged in a war not so much over Iraq's weapons of mass destruction as it is over bush's weapon of mass distraction.
