Is there a liberal case FOR the Iraq War? Jeff Jacoby in this column presents one. We liberated an entire people from the boot heel of a totalitarian dictatorship. The war may have been imperfectly conducted and its goals remain far from being realized. But the ideal that inspired it is one worth upholding and which makes the sacrifices of our fighting men and women over there worth it.

She was skeptical of claims of brutality under Saddam's regime? Aren't these the same people that accepted Tawana Brawley's story without question?

Sure - if they had one percent of the common sense given a sponge, they would have supported (and would still BE supporting) the WOT in general and the Iraq liberation in particular.
Supporting evil in the guise of political opposition is not only morally wrong, it's not even good politics, as the Progs will find to their cost in November.

The first journalist to die while covering the war, Kelly was the editor of The Atlantic and a columnist for The Washington Post. I thought that Danny Pearl was the first journalist to die in the war? Was I mistaken?
Oh, I'm just an ignorant soldier - OIF IS NOT PART OF THE WAR ON TERROR!

Sounds like an old school liberal type thinking that actually values human rights over political ambitions. Todays liberals are all hypocritical moonbats.

This isn't news or a new take on the war in Iraq. We've known about this for years. However, I would like to hear President Bush defend this war for these reasons more often.

The only other voice from the left that echo's this is Christopher Hitchens.
