What is the relationship between teleological and deontological ground and the consequences argument you are making.
Are you saying that because Kerry may have known before hand that the resolution would pass that it makes it OK for him to vote for it? Based simply on the notion that he knew it would pass anyway so it didn't matter how he voted?
On the "right" (morally right or "rights") argument...surely Kerry would have to take into consideration that IF he voted FOR this that he would also bear some RESPONSIBILITY if war broke out and people were killed.
Kerry should have known that Bush was going to start this war. Bush wasn't going to stop with inspectors...his whole cabinet was chock full of PNAC'ers.
So either Kerry was duped or Kerry was FOR the war. I have a hard time believing Kerry is stupid enough to be duped by these people.
