War on Iraq and Howard Dean

By Karl-Thomas Musselman

Sometimes there is a little part of me that just wants to get up and say, "I told you so." It wouldn't be very grown-up or professional, but I'm 19 and a blogger so I'll say it.

I told you so, and so is Howard Dean.

Howard Dean sounded like he had been vindicated on Sunday when he noted that most Americans now agree that the United States should not have invaded Iraq. It was a position that fueled his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, and earned Dean much criticism in the process.

“After being castigated by both Democrats and Republicans for a while, now the majority of Americans agree with me this was a mistake,” the one-time Democratic front-runner said on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

More than half, or 52 percent, of Americans said the war was not worth fighting, according to an ABC News-Washington Post poll taken June 17-20. That number is up from 50 percent in May.

Dean said most people also agree with him that the war hasn’t made America safer.

Karl-Thomas,
EVERYBODY loves you here. :)
I'm personally delighted that you were chosen as a delegate, and I'm sure you will be the hottest delegate at the convention in Boston.

But two Dean-related threads in two days? C'mon, the primaries are over, it's time to move on.
The unchangeable battles of the past must make way for the unresolved battles of the future.

You talk about Howard Dean all you want to, Karl-T! He changed a lot of things for a lot of people and the Democrats have a lot to thank him for (though they probably never will).
