- Iraq (past)
- I thought we should have waited for the weapons inspectors to finish their job–or at least for the UN to agree to join us. I don’t like pre-emptive war against people who haven’t attacked us or our allies–and that doesn’t mean I like Saddam Hussein. I also don’t like the leaders of North Korea, Iran, Liberia….should we declare pre-emptive war on all of them?
- Iraq (present)
- I believe there are lots of Iraqis who are glad we’re there.
- Iraq (future)
- If we want the UN to help us help Iraq–and I do–wouldn’t it be reasonable to share control there? I’d like to help Iraqis fight off the forces of chaos until a real government gets established.
- Bush’s tax cuts
- I think we should get rid of the many cuts that help billionnaires, but save the very few that benefit poor families. (Here I agree with Kerry rather than with (my guy) Dean, who wants to get rid of every one of the tax cuts.)
- Israel
- “We will pursue peace as if there is no terrorism and fight terrorism as if there is no peace.”
— Yitzhak Rabin
