LEADERSHIP...FOLLOWERSHIP...WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?

Iraq war opponent Dean seeks Liberia intervention (MIKE GLOVER, July 2, 2003, Associated Press)

Dean argued his position on the use of force is not out of line with his opposition to the war in Iraq.

"The situation in Liberia is significantly different from the situation in Iraq," he said. [...]

Dean argued there's no inconsistency in opposing the war in Iraq while backing intervention in Africa. He said Bush never made the case that Iraq posed a threat to the world.

"The situation in Liberia is exactly the opposite," Dean said. "There is an imminent threat of serious human catastrophe and the world community is asking the United States to exercise its leadership."

Ah, the Democrats' version of American leadership....doing what the rest of the world tells us to do. Posted by Orrin Judd at July 2, 2003 11:09 PM
