Stephanie Herseth's opponent, GOP State Senator Larry Diedrich made some
rather frightening comments about the war and about the President.
"Referring to the war against terrorism and the conflict in Iraq, Diedrich said there was no way he'd ever second-guess President Bush, in whether the invasion and overthrow of Saddam was justified or not. 'He must have had a good reason,' Diedrich said of Bush."
So Diedrich obviously doesn't know why we're in Iraq, but he wants to make it clear that "there is no way he'd ever second guess President Bush." In short Larry Diedrich doesn't need a reason to go to war, just a wink and a nod from G.W. Bush. For anyone questioning why this race is important, these comments alone give us a good reason to get involved.
