I don't think it's about September 11th. If it was, it would have happened a long time ago.

But we're free to disagree about that, yeah?

France wouldn't be drawing my criticism if they were still sticking to their guns. But they've done pretty much a "170" if you will. Not quite a complete 180º degree turn, but pretty close. Suddenly the war is a good thing? A dark page has been turned? What changed? You know?

I'm against the war too, if the question is "Do you support sending Americans to a foreign land to die, far away from their families, while at the same time killing innocent people?"

But I'm for the war if the question is "Do you support freeing people that desperately want to be freed but cannot do it themselves because the oppresive power they are under is so great?"
