Immorality on the March

PARIS -- Last weekend, across Europe and America, somewhere between 1 million and 2 million people marched against a war with Saddam Hussein's Iraq. All protests against war are ultimately ethical in nature, and Saturday's placard-wavers did not break with tradition: "Give Peace a Chance," "Make Tea, Not War," "Bush and Blair -- the Real War Criminals." These are statements of sentiment, not power politics, and the sentiment is, or is meant to be, a moral one.

It's immoral not to oppose Saddam.

You're darned right it's immoral, but since when does that stop the leftists? Very well written article, I'm surprised to see something like this in the WP.

Michael Kelly is a regular columnist in the Post. He is, I guess, their token conservative.

I think Michael Kelly claims to be a liberal. If so, he's a liberal with a conscience, an old-line liberal if you like. He was devastating on bill clinton and algore.

[jwalburg]

I think that's right. I've only read him since the Clinton era, but I've liked most of what I've seen.
