foundit, I assume that you're a liberal and as such support the classic liberal cause of defending the rights of the world's oppressed. Why is it that the rights of millions of Iraqi citizens who were being horribly oppressed (Iraq: Systematic torture of political prisoneres | Amnesty International, Life Under Saddam Hussein, BBC News, http://www.c-span.org/resources/pdf/hrdossier.pdf, etc., etc., etc.....) aren't important enough to you to sacrifice for them? Is your commitment to the freeing of teh oppressed people of the world limited to walking in circles carrying signs or does it extend to actaully doing something to free them? You want to argue about WMDs and terrorists, yet those were only part of the picture (one that was exaggerated, but had it's roots in fact). Why aren't you and the rest of the liberals celebrating the freeing from oppression of MILLIONS of Iraqis, the establishment of a Constitutional Republic in place of an oppressive dictatorship and the removal of a gov't that was responsible for approx. 1 million deaths in it's quest for power and to maintain that power? I would think that according to the classic liberal ideologies, all of these things are good things and should be celebrated and supported.

Could you explain why it is that liberals seem to have forgotten this core value that has defined them for decades??
