War as a Reason to Go Democratic in 2008

Reason contributing editor Brink Lindsey, a former Iraq war hawk, explains why he's seriously thinking of going Democratic for president in 2008. He says, among other things, that he's "completely lost faith in preventive war as a way of dealing with nuclear proliferation. Consequently, my sense now is that military action against Iran would backfire badly, perhaps disastrously."

Why Brink used to think the Iraq invasion was a good idea, from a debate with John Mueller in the January 2003 Reason.
