And ask them what they thought of Clinton's military actions in Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq. How many of these nations had attacked us first? How many were direct threats to U.S. interests?

Where were all the marches then? Ask them how many times they took to the streets to protest Clinton's attacks on Iraq, or the bombings of civilians in Europe. I'd bet money some of them won't even know what you're talking about.

How often was the word "chickenhawk" used to refer to Clinton? Hell, by your definition, Franklin Roosevelt was a "chickenhawk."

Sorry, but you're not kidding anyone. We know exactly what the protests are about, what their target is, and who's engineering them.

And keep convincing yourselves that Bush is an idiot. That Reagan was an idiot. That pretty much any conservative is an idiot. I suppose it's a lot easier on you psychologically than the painful alternative: that intelligent people just might think your ideas are totally wrong.
