The left's inability to make fundamental distinctions astounds me. America did use nuclear weapons against Japan. If was brutal and in some moments shameful, but Pearl Harbor was Japan's idea.
President Bush is not trying to make up for past failures. Although, I guess we failed when we liberated France in WWII. They aren't exactly grateful.
If America doesn't give a shit about the rest of the world why do we send billions of dollars in aid around the world? American tax payers feed more hungry people than any other nation on earth
Take a look at what John F. Kennedy (everyone's all-time favorite Democrat) said during the Cuban Missile Crisis and get off this unjustified war routine. Read the 8th paragraph.

Do you live in a country in which the government controls the press? Most people on this earth do.
You can not care about human rights and not be behind a regime change in Iraq. Saddam has already killed many, many more innocent Iraqui people than the United States and their allies are likely to kill in this war.
Think the war is about oil? You are wrong. America buys oil when it needs it.
Think the opposition to the war from counties like France and Russia is about saving lives? You are wrong. France and Russia want to preserve Saddam so that his regime can pay them the money Iraq owes them. Want proof. Alcatel rebuilt the Iraqui telephone system after the last Gulf war. Russia has significant oil rights within Iraq. Both countries sell Iraq weapons.
Oh God, I don't know if I can stop.
As for the UN. Where was the UN in Cambodia, Kosovo or Rewanda? And who provides 80% of the UN budget? The United States.
U.S. Troops should come home. Home from places like France and Germany.
This sniff, sniff (crying poor Iraq, poor me) stuff has got to stop. Ask yourself what might have happened if Hitler had nuclear weapons and stop telling the world President Bush is a monster. He has got more courage than you will ever have.
