Ask the Far Right: Don't Big Wars make Big Government?

I recommend that if you oppose the US policy war and occupation in Iraq and elsewhere that you should try talking making the case to those that worry about big intrusive governments that the current Bush regime's massive ballooning federal debt is largely due to spending on the war and that it is unfairly burdening future generations with debt to foreign creditors. It has worked somewhat with my conservative coworker. There must be lots of good quotes on the Internet from the US "founding fathers" and other thinkers.
