I do care what happens to my kids, Your kids, you or anyone for that matter that risks their life for freedom.
For ANY leader to put someone in harms way for no reason and to cause that person to loose their life to gain nothing is a crime.
Ask anyone who has had their loved ones head sawed off and drug through the streets if that is a crime. That wouldn't have happened if we weren't there.

Yeah, we didn't invade Afghanistan after the 98 Cole incident and all of the other Al Qaeda acts against us when we knew they were escalating things, which would have involved risking having some military casualties. Then 9/11 happened. Yet, if we had done that, people would never know that 9/11 never happened, because people don't understand deterence, but they would know about the casualties, and they would be calling the military commanders, and perhaps Al Gore, war criminals. It's pretty silly.
If you don't believe Bush/Cheney that we didn't go in "for no reason," listen to what the Democrats were saying BEFORE we went in and things got messy; not the revisionist history now:

He miscalculated America's response to that act of naked aggression. He miscalculated the result of setting oil rigs on fire. He miscalculated the impact of sending scuds into Israel and trying to assassinate an American President. He miscalculated his own military strength. He miscalculated the Arab world's response to his misconduct. And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new.
