I agree Brien.

I am against the Iraq war, but even I questioned the partisan manner in which it was brought up. Seems like more political grandstanding on both sides, to me.

I think all states should be upset over the use of their National Guard auxilliary units in Iraq.
Why should they be upset? The war in Iraq is not the first war they have contributed to.

I don't care for natural disasters to be politicised either, yet it seems to be done quite frequently. However, this makes me strong in my belief in smaller government, and every man for himself. It draws people together in communities in times of peril. Government can't do that. Why expand it's powers, to the point of depending on them for handouts?

Government is methodical. Leave out one step, and your goal does not get accomplished. You disadvantage yourself in the long run depending on government for basic needs.
