Polls indicate that most Democrats believe that the war in Iraq is a mistake. This creates a problem for Hillary Clinton. She enthusiastically endorsed the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002." Barack Obama opposed the resolution.
In a speech before the vote, while he was still a member of the Illinois Senate and a candidate for the U.S. Senate, Obama said: "I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East and encourage the worst, rather than the best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitme...

President Bush's campaign keeps asking pointed questions about Sen. John Kerry's "vote for war" against Iraq two years ago. The claim Congress' Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of Oct. 11, 2002, was a "vote for war" reflects the letter of the resolution, but flies in the face of its spirit.
The measure authorized presidential use of force against the "continuing threat posed by Iraq." On Oct. 8, 2001, on the eve of the vote in Congress, Mr. Bush delivered a major address to the nation on the Iraqi threat. He said: "Approving this resolution does not mean that the military action is imminent or unavoidable. This resolution will tell the United Nations, and all nations, that America speaks with one voice.

We're certainly not lamenting the death of former Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi. Before being kicked out of power this summer by NATO-backed rebels, he tyrannized and terrorized his people for 42 years. He also engaged in acts of international terrorism, such as the 1986 bombing of a Berlin discotheque that killed three people, including two American servicemen, and the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, killing 270 people.
But in recent years, Gadhafi, although still a tyrant at home, had agreed to give up his nuclear weapons program and was taken off the U.S. government's list of state sponsors of terror. He paid restitution to some of the families of his victims.
