Perhaps - I'm still not convinced by your account of things though.

Also I supported the war in Iraq on humanitarian grounds - although they didn't plan for and therefore screwed up what would happen when Saddam had gone.

What prevents me from siding with the liberals on the war issue is that they are so focussed on rubbishing the war that they have given no viable alternatives. It's all very well saying the war was 'wrong', but what would they have done? Sat around and done nothing... sanctions? That wouldn't have stopped Saddam, and his people would never have been able to overthrow him. Things have gone badly I would agree, but in the medium to long term this is much better for the people of Iraq.
