Mike, you believe there can be a just cause for war? I thought you were a pacifist?
There was plenty of cause - see Nicholas Lehmann's arguments for going to war in this
2003 article in the New Yorker. He's a liberal writer commenting in a liberal magazine and detailing the reasons. They haven't changed.
What I'm embarrassed by is the lack of wisdom on the Left. There are good people with good intentions but little wisdom and moral clarity. I posted a report that Iranian Quds forces may be responsible for the attack that resulted in the murder of five Americans in Karbala and you ask me if I'm embarrassed by American involvement in Iraq.
* Do you want us to win?
* Would you prefer that more Americans were dead so that it would even out the war scorecard? (and don't give a mealy-mouthed answer that you would prefer we beat our swords into karaoke machines like the Japanese)

Brian, aren't you at all embarrassed complaining about Iran's involvement in Iraq when your own government invaded the country with no just cause
