When you think of Iraq, when do you have to consider the human rights of the innocents under the old dictatorship...vs the innocents who die as a result of the war. Can you argue, against the war in Iraq based upon the innocents that will die.....and ignore the intrinsic evil that existed under the regime? It can not be argued that had the US not invaded innocents would not have been raped, tortured and murdered. It is referred to as the Dufar argument in our home. Does the number of innocents who will die in a war, justify turning your back on the innocents who will suffer if you do not interfene?
Hmmmmm.....Religious rights....that is a slippery slope isn't it. When you recall the number of Founding Fathers who were Unitarian....and let's not forget Thomas Jefferson's Bible. None of these men could be elected under the standard set by the far right.
Abortion.....If you want to know the character of a country, look to the way it treats it's most vulnerable. What more is there to say on the issue? It isn't the economy, or the rate of unemployment, or funding for secondary education, or NAFTA...it's the lives of the country's most innocent. Reply to this
