I'm probably voting democrat in this election, but none of the top 3 candidates seem strong enough to stand out to me. I'll probably just vote for whoever wins the primary. I was in the Ron Paul camp for a while because I like his social stances and foreign policy stances (not to mention his honesty and consistency), but he has other beliefs that I don't like, like returning to the gold standard, the Fair Tax act, believing that things like the FDA and Department of Education should be abolished, etc. I tend to agree with libertarians socially but disagree economically, where I'm more liberal.
Regardless of whether that's the case with Iraq, I don't want another president who's so strongly against terrorism that he's willing to invade countries. Even though Democrats have a majority in Congress, I'd be worried about a repeat performance with Iran.
