We should have prosecuted the war criminals that invaded Iraq because ... well they made us afraid. We were afraid that they had WMDs. Outside of Florida, since when is being afraid a legal excuse to attack?

It was an obvious violation of international laws and the fact that we never prosecuted the guilty means that we'll just keep doing it.

I'm still pissed that Ford pardoned Nixon. What a giant green light to future illegal presidential behavior that turned out to be.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
