There will always be people who are simply opposed to war for any reason except in self defense. Mr. Bordon actually makes the case that we DID go in self defense, which is one of the reasons we went to war with Iraq. I think everyone would benefit from at least an objective reading. It's by no means biased as he highlights what was definitely done wrong in "selling" the war by the administration. Army Sergeant, that’s why I included the “moral opposition” clause in there.

I acknowledge other Presidents may have done it, I'll call them on it too. I just don't think it's right. I doubt I'll buy this book, but I'll recommend it to the buyer at the military library.
