"...And part of the argument that I'm making in this campaign is that, it is important to be right on day one."
Candidate Barack Obama, January 31, 2008
How do you link these quotes in both the 20th and the 21st Century? Well, I marched against the war in Vietnam forty years ago, I served two years in alternative service at Evanston Hospital in the early '70s, and I was against George W. Bush's war in Iraq during this decade.
I'm in favor of most of President Barack Obama's policies. I'm just not sure that you can send thirty to forty thousand more troops to Afghanistan and still call it being right on day one. How many more illegitimate regimes is America going to support and still be true to our ideals.
