Thanks for posting this.

Hentoff is an honest liberal. He commands respect unlike Tommy Jackhole.

Hentoff, like Hitchens and a handful of others, is an honorable liberal. Most of the rest are say anything to win and do anything to win thugs. Orwell knew this, which is why he wrote 1984 and Animal Farm.

Very good article. And we should be asking our political leaders just why they insisted on the "weapons of mass destruction" angle for justifying this war (I know the technical answer is that it's the only thing that had a chance of working within the UN structure, but that's no reason at all in my book). It's an incredibly selfish justification, which plays right into the anti-war cranks' contention that the Bush administration wanted to wage the war for selfish reasons.

The UN has no interest in righting the wrongs of any dictatorship or even involving itself without a payout..
How many dictatorships and slaughter of innocents go un-noticed by the UN
Iraq = Food for Oil = Oil for cash =cash for Koffi

Hentoff is always interesting to read with some of the only well reasoned liberal perspectives I've ever seen. He was an ardent critic of Clinton and never missed an opportunity to flay him for leading the charge against the constitution. Behind most of Hentoff's philosophy is an undying respect and love for the constitution.
