So I take it from those comments that you would have been opposed to those wars? Do you decide the legitimacy of a war based on if it were called by a Democrat or Republican administration? I would say that at least the first and second world wars were justified to some extent and would have been difficult to avoid. The invasion of Iraq was wholly avoidable, mostly because it was a bi-lateral (US & UK) aggressive act against a country which patently did not have any involvement in the apparent justification - i.e. WMD and/or 9/11. If any war over the last 50 years could be seen as the product of 'war mongrels' (though I guess you mean warmongers), it would have to be that one.
