p>Who's surprised? Raise your hand. br> -- A. C. Santore /p> p> In the Korean War, the party out of power (Republicans then) did exactly what the out-party (Democrats) attempted to do during the Iraq War: use the general unpopularity of war, any war, to get itself into power, never mind what was at stake.

The scripts and rhetoric then are the same as now; only the party spouting them is flipped around. br> -- Ty Knoy br> Ann Arbor, Michigan
