“Let's adjourn for one hour and go down to the Vietnam Memorial before we commit ourselves and our children to an unknown world in which any president can decide to go to war as long as he or she determines it is in the national interest at that moment… Let us not, in pursuit of oil or power or the blandishments of empire, be the ones to lead the world to failure.“, Rep. James McDermott (D-WA), Floor of Congress, 10/8/02
