Mr. McCain, you supported the war in Iraq because you, like many others, thought that we were in imminent danger from Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction. Well, he is gone, and there were no weapons of mass destruction. Are we still in imminent danger from Iraq? If not, what is our basis for staying there?
It is nice to want a stable democratic Iraq. Under international law, do we have a right to impose this on Iraqi citizens by force? How can tens of thousands of Iraqi dead and many more wounded be justified?How can thousands of American military dead and wounded be justified?

With respect to your final paragraph above, we knew all that until last week when, on 9/11/08, Palin told her son and other troops about to depart for service in Iraq that they would "be there to defend the innocent from the enemies who planned and carried out and rejoiced from the death of thousands of Americans."
More to come on this theme, I'm sure. Why not? It's worked so well in the past.
