The article references a "war of choice." I'd agree. It was an American war of choice. The majority of the Democrats in the House voted "Yes" for the war, as did the majority of the Democrats in the Senate. When the bill for $100 billion to fund the war came up for vote, 37 of 49 Democrats in the Senate voted "Yes". Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton were among the most outspoken supporters. Years later it's laid at Bush's feet by plotting souls such as yourself, and accepted as gospel by the willingly naive. Fortunately, facts are much easier to access today than they once were, making liberal hogwash easier to dispel. We collectively share responsibility for Iraq. A country, it should be noted, that is now free from the oppression of a sadistic dictator, and that has a representative government and a growing economy. Perspective, Mr. Stiglitz. Crank up the prescription on those coke-bottle lenses and get ya some.
