I've been "accused" of being a NEOCON by a few here (whateverthephuck that means as I've NEVER seen a clear definition). I do admit to being an imperialist of sorts I suppose (Manifest Destiny WAS imperialism and nothing more), but again if the motive was to eradicate a dictator who in our view and based on solid intel from MANY sources had WMDs, I'm OK with that, but if the rationale was to also establishing a western-style democracy, THAT was and is idiotic.

A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”
