Whose idea is it? Then it's great!
You know, all of this flap over Schneider at CNN is a little silly. What he should have said is 'Is he a hypocrite? No, He's a politician.' Certainly, as others have pointed out, either being for all wars, or against all wars seems to be a dumb position. So, the fact that Dean supported Bosnia, but not Iraq does not necessarily make him a hypocrite. That said, both sides have a habit of supporting military action, when their guys start it, and being against it when the other guys start it.
The Republicans, however, are much more vicious about attacking the other side when they don't support the war, forgetting what they said when it wasn't 'their' war.
Politics, for good or bad (mostly bad), has very much become an 'anything the other side does is bad' argument.

Ironically many Republicans were against the war in Bosinia who were for Iraq. And there were also many who thought Paula Jones was a saint and Antia Hill a slut...And so it goes.
