Re: Iran's nuclear program (none / 0)

In what universe is 17 people "quite a few"? We're talking about a completely unjustified war! The whole entire rest of the world knew it was a bad idea. So good of 21 Democrats to agree. So sad it wasn't enough.

Opposing a war is unserious, every serious person knows that.
