Well, as a Quaker, I'm morally opposed to all war and I'd certainly like to see the President think more deeply about the ramifications of involving our country in war (preemptive or not). And in the case of our current President, he seems remarkably immune to the human suffering caused by his decisions (think Iraq, Gitmo, Katrina, etc), so it would seem that if he had to put those who loved in line of fire he might re-consider his choices (and if one wants to get into conflicts of interest--don't you see an inherent 'conflict of interest' in the ways that the current administration is _profiting_ from the Iraq war through the military's use of private contractors?)
Seriously, though, I wouldn't wish harm on GWB (me being a pacifist and all), but I do wish that he and other U.S. leaders, were held more personally accountable for their choices.
