Reply #135: I remember a lot of animosity and division over Afghanistan.

The Military Incursion ("Operation Enduring Freedom") in Afghanistan was called a Just WAR and supported by many here,
It also had the support of much of the Democratic Party.
IIRC, those who called for International Law Enforcement ONLY were a distinct minority,
but I'm getting old and have trouble remembering what I did yesterday,
so I could be wrong.
I don't believe the DU archives for those years are available,
but it would be interesting to look at them during that time. (Oct. 2001)


The Iraq War Resolution, essentially giving Bush Free Hand to do whatever he wanted in Iraq,
was signed by most of the Big Name Dems, and had their supporters on DU,
but has far less overall support.
