Reply #12: Byrd: I cannot support this policy.

I cannot support politics of ZEAL and MIGHT MAKES RIGHT that has NEW AMERICAN ARROGANCE in this administration. Disabling doctrine of pre-emption turns U.S. into reckless bully.

The Emperor has no clothes, and our allies were the first to see it.

Mr. President, I began remarks with fairy tale. I close with a horror story from NUREMBERG DIARIES (Goering: It is the leaders of country who determine policy, and it is always easy to bring the country along. In the U.S., only CONGRESS can declare war. But the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them is being attacked, and they will follow.)
