Palerider -

Just a couple of the points because everything is rushed now ...

There is indeed a genuine split in the ranks of conservatives at this time;  the split is between globalist neocons and the more traditional (think Russel Kirk, Pat Buchanan, Agrarians] type of conservatives.

You are correct about the fact that Saddam did not honor the treaty which ended the Gulf War.    But that Gulf War was likewise not a defensive war and we shouldn't have been there then either.

A truly conservative stance is to "avoid foreign entanglements" as the founders of this country warned us.

If the first shot will likely be from a suitcase weapon or some biological agent, then it is really not of much utility for us to be there fighting as we are now ...unless the plan is to slaughter every single one of the more Wahabbist-influenced Muslims.

Thanks for your reply, and more later as I wrote above,

Lilly
