Iraq Attack was Aggression

Douglas Feith admits that attack on Iraq was "anticipatory self-defense." It seems that the attack might very well have been aggression, especially since the WMD threat to the USA was unfounded, and in light of evidence that there was an intent to "fix the facts" (in regard to the existence of a WMD threat) to "meet the policy" of invading Iraq (Downing Street Memo).

100 Years of War

"bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran..." John McCain.

100 years of war is enough reason for me to exercise pragmatism in this year's presidential election. That said, I vastly prefer Obama to Clinton, for a number of reasons. One, he demonstrates a decidedly lesser degree of indebtedness to special interests relative to Mrs. Clinton. Other reasons include that he has a positive attitude, and that he seems less inclined to be deluded into the status quo. He has less time in Washington D.C., which may allow him to bring a truly fresh and renewing energy to the national political scene.

That said, here's a good reason not to vote for McCain:
