Here is an article with comments made by a Republican politician. http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/local/143771_nethercutt14.htmlTo me, the quote in the subject line is offensive and shameful. And my reason for this is that not ONE American soldier's life is worth our trip to Iraq because of the way that war was manufactured, packaged and sold to the American people.I remember how the Republicans responded to Clinton's bombing of Kosov and how they screamed in this instance, human rights were not a reason for America to go to war. Now, after all the lies of the Shrub administration are coming to light, what excuse do the Republicans fall back on? Human rights. Don't misunderstand me, human rights issues are very valid reason for wars, but if so, where were the Republican's when Clinton and the US failed the Tutsis in Rwanda so miserably? I don't recall one Republican standing up and shouting about human rights abuses then. If the Democrats had tried such a war, the Republicans would be raising holy hell right now. And here is another great article about Chickenhawks...http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/features/2003/0310.poe.html
