To your points: on Iraq, hindsight is 20/20. The Iraq War resolution was bi-partisan and the intel that was used as a basis to move forward with the war came from a Clinton hold-over. Bush's biggest mistake was keeping any Clintonites around.
Please give me one example of the Patriot Act being used to falsely imprison or prosecute an American citizen.
Protecting U.S. citizens from terrorist attack is far more important than this particular health reform bill.

I don't have as radical negative opinion of the Patriot Act as some people on the left do. My point is that some people act like this Health Care reform is the worst thing in the world and that the world itself is going to end because of it. To me, making the decision to go to war with Iraq with questionable purposes, without an exit strategy, and without an end, is far worst than this Health Care bill.
