I guess what confuses me is that the fact that, as you point out, the "1/2 [of] the idiots in this country still think Iraq is linked to 9/11..." proves that idiocy, like honor, is not restricted to either side of center.

I don't find the actions of those who are changing sides in the debate on the war any more deplorable than those who continue to cling to justifications that have proven to be false, or who have blithely adopted whatever rationale for the war that has most recently come out of the White House Press Office.

Let me put it to you this way – I agree that the way some politicians who are liberals, or are regarded as liberals, have conducted themselves with regard to their position on the war does not reflect honorably on them.

That being said – IMHO, the way some politicians who are conservative, or are regarded as conservatives, have conducted themselves with regard to justifying and/or defending the war reflects on them no more honorably.

Arguing that one or the other is more dishonorable is … well, the best technical term I can come up with is “downright stupid.”
