George W. Bush is of "The Left", as well as all of the Congressional Conservatives who voted in the positive to declare war upon Iraq, which had zilch to do with 9/11/2001?

And had no WMD and only Condenazi Rice had visions of mushroom clouds, even without having 20-20 hindsight as she said.

Thanks for the welcome. I'm glad to be here. I won't be attacking anybody here, only their ideas.

The USA is currently at rare peace. We have been at war for most of our history. Looks like our rare peace may be short-lived, as usual. too bad. Peace is a good thing.

In the entire history of the United States, we've had only 11 complete calendar yrs when we weren't in armed conflict somewhere on the planet. That includes the Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the "Indian" wars. The nation we were most often in armed conflict with was China, being 5 times.
