Where is the Anti-War Crowd Now?

My colleague Kevin posed a question to readers yesterday asking if Obama had launched the United States into a third war with the attacks on Libya. The answer to that question is still up in the air, however, it does seem that Obama is taking some motivational words right out of the George W. Bush war handbook. Gasp.

Obama: "Today we are part of a broad coalition. We are answering the calls of a threatened people. And we are acting in the interests of the United States and the world"

Bush: "American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger."
