Lincoln justified all his actions as the ends justifying the means. Bush has never done that.
But Lincoln was not an idiot and he was behind a movement that actually improved the country, not tear it down.

That is the exact argument Lincoln made in defending his suspension of habus corpus. The Supreme Court wasn't buying it then and wouldn't buy it now. You have a bad case of situational ethics. When it comes to fighting slavery: Fuck the Constitution. When it comes to the Iraq War: The Constitution Fucked us.

And no we both don't agree.

Lincoln got away with it because liberals were shot then.
