40% of the Democrats in the House voted for War on Iraq. That's more
Democratic support than Bush Sr. got the first time the USA attacked
Iraq. Obviously the Party has moved to the Right and is more Hawkish
after 9-11. Moreover, the vote for War was pushed through both Houses by
Democrats like John Kerry and Tom Daschle. The Democrats will continue
the War in Iraq. My guess is that the War in Iraq is going to continue
for another 10-15 years. The USA needs to get out of Iraq now. I can't
vote for a party that supports that War. We need Reform. Nader is
serious about Reform. The Democrats are not interested in Reform.
