Fucking politicians. They don't seem to care how many people die. It's all about money and getting it to your cronies.
Makes me sick.
Paul Wellstone voted against it.

" In 2002, he was the only Senator facing reelection to vote against the congressional authorization for the war in Iraq.[1]"

So not the only one I guess.

"It tends to be remembered as a more overwhelming and bipartisan vote than it was. Although almost every congressional Republican voted aye, the majority of House Democrats (126-81) vote against it and a substantial minority of Senate Dems (22 out of 51) also voted no."
