You can object to Iraq on any number of levels, forget the moral issue (not saying you should necessarily) if you just look at it with a cold blooded view of does this help or hurt the national interest it doesn't pass the test. The world would have been better off without the creation of Israel just in terms of security IMO but I don't see anything good coming out of just demonizing one side and saying the others are the be all, end all. Its done, Israel's there, not going away, hammer something out, although I don't see any reason for optimism.
Economically I think I'm kind of middle of the road which probably makes me a lefty in America. I'm for universal health care, some sort of fair tax system although you can't mention redistribution here, but I'm not really a protectionist or anything.
I don't have any issue with immigration and don't care about white people becoming a minority here or losing our "national culture" whatever that is. I can't say I've given too much thought about whether I'm against a strong centralized gov't, I guess I would say that I'm not.
I've decided to be against the death penalty mainly just because of the dumb fuckism and irresponsibility of people involved in the process. Some people probably deserve killing but its too messed up a system. Disturbed by abortion, I guess I'm pro-choice though.
