Reply #28: Yeah, that evil Kucinich shouldn't have spoken out against the Iraq War [View All]

[Zorra]

before it began, either. Why is this bad person always trying to go against the will of our brave and heroic pResident, when he knows that our great leader will always prevail in every contest with Democrats?

The Bloodstained Path
by Dennis Kucinich
The Progressive magazine, November 2002

Unilateral military action by the United States against Iraq is unjustified, unwarranted, and illegal. The Administration has failed to make the case that Iraq poses an imminent threat to the United States. There is no credible evidence linking Iraq to 9/11. There is no credible evidence linking Iraq to Al Qaeda. Nor is there any credible evidence that Iraq possesses deliverable weapons of mass destruction, or that it intends to deliver them against the United States.
snip---
We know that each day the Administration receives a daily threat assessment. But Iraq is not an imminent threat to this nation. Forty million Americans suffering from inadequate health care is an imminent threat. The high cost of prescription drugs is an imminent threat. The ravages of unemployment is an imminent threat. The slowdown of the economy is an imminent threat, and so, too, the devastating effects of corporate fraud.
snip---
America cannot and should not be the world's policeman. America cannot and should not try to pick the leaders of other nations. Nor should America and the American people be pressed into the service of international oil interests and arms dealers.
snip---
If the United States proceeds with a first strike policy, then we will have taken upon our nation a historic burden of committing a violation of international law, and we would then forfeit any moral high ground we could hope to hold.

Sorry about the sarcasm, but I'm really getting tired of Democrats denouncing our best elected leaders for at least trying to do the right thing. Few Democrats stood behind Dennis when he opposed the war, and look what happened - hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed and maimed.

Democrats need to unite against monsters like Bu*h and Cheney - not appease them so that they can continue to commit criminal acts at will.
