You may not agree with the Iraq War and I respect that disention. Had I known how the majority of this war would have been fought I would have dissented as well. However, the Constitution states that the Commander-in-Chief is the top military man in the country and military, defense and war funding is spent to protect the interests of the United States which supports the infra-structure. The same cannot be said for an abortion. With one, the Constitution is on his side and the other isn't. Furthermore, if the Congress decides they want to halt the funding for the war (considering that's why a lot of people put them as the majority) then they should have the "testicular fortitude" to do so.
I would welcome the chance to discuss these and any other issues you'd like to discuss. I enjoy the discussion.
