Fuck man, get a grip on the real world.
I heard Bush the other day say "democracies don't attack other democracies" that may be true, but he sure didn't have a problem attacking another sovereign nation himself, totally unprovoked.

Yup....Just like Clinton attacked Kosovo.... They were no threat to us, didn't provoke us, had nothing to do with us....
And by the way, Lincoln actually provoked a war with the south because they were practicing their right to succeed from the union... read some consititutional history, they had the right to do that according to the original framers. The war was about the rights of states over the federal government, not slavery. Obviously I'm glad that things turned out the way that they did, but technically, the Confederacy was in the right. Linoln and the north were technically the aggressors, and they did NOT have the right to impose their will just because they wanted the cotten and agricultural products from the south.
Get a Grip? Please.... Can you imagine if Bush suspended Habius Corpus, with no need for evidence to put people in jail, and put other politicians in jail for simply disagreeing with him? What about if the police killed hundreds of people on Bush's orders so as to force people into the army to fight for a war that they didn't want?
