"Democracy," the man said, his voice rising to lift each word to greater prominence. "Whiskey. And sexy!"

Whoa there buddy...it took us near 230 yrs to get to Clinton...dont be so quick to want to get to that point.

A true masterpiece of raging sarcasm!

They had no great love for Saddam Hussein, we knew that--"a terrible man and so on,' in Jean Chretien's devastating indictment...

This is in a nutshell what is wrong w/liberal media & politicians, the Arab world & anti-war protestors when you listen to them describe Saddam Hussein. They'll say something to the effect of: "Oh, believe me, we know there is no love lost for Saddam by the Iraqi people or the rest of the Arab world. But..."

That's it? You'll pour over Arab quote after Arab quote; liberal media article after liberal media article; Democrap quote after democrap quote...and that is their collective moral apprehension of Saddam? "No love lost." "A terrible man and so on." That's like saying Hitler was guilty of committing sins.

You see, for too many Arabs and too many liberals, they just can't get too revved up over crimes against humanity because too much moral revulsion=creeping absolutism. And absolute standards are just oo much to bear for their absolute relativism. Hence, we hear such "devasting indictments" such as Dictator A is a wee bit terrible and we certainly understand why Iraqis were not hugging Saddam statues.

Boy, no wonder these ringing indictments brought Saddam to the point of cringing all thru the 90s. I'm sure this "Boy Dictators will be boy dictators" worldview yielded much positive reform in Saddam's "puppet government."

(And don't get me started on the false premise that a "puppet government" is something new in Iraq)

Democracy, whiskey and sexy. Now there's a man who understands the basic underpinnings of a new society. Hear, hear!

Thank you for posting this very powerful article. Through tears, as I read the piece, it became more clear that we have so much to do here at home, to take back our nation so that the wrongheaded may no longer inveigle our goodness with their PC corrosion.

Lesson #1: Those three STOOGES from America than came to Iraq and protected Saddam were DEMOCRATS.

[Colofornian]

We saw it all. At every turn, we pointed out how it could all go horribly wrong--no, how it must inevitably end in disaster. And so we were not at all surprised when, just as we had predicted, oil fields across Iraq were blown up by the hundred, when Saddam launched missiles at Tel Aviv, when Israel responded in kind, when the Iranian and Turkish armies poured over the border, and the whole Middle East was set ablaze. The hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians who died in the ensuing carnage, the millions of refugees who showed up at camps in Turkey and Jordan--we are not to blame. Not in our name, we had chanted. Not in our name.

I ask you: Doesn't all of the anti-war protest speeches now remind you of Y2K mongerers? And only the "Christian" right has its false prophets?

Not in our name, we had chanted. Not in our name.

Neither can the liberation/freedom of Iraqis be chanted in the liberal name.

Yes, indeed: We, the campus-left, the lifetime adolescents who can never shed our Berkeley or Boulder wardrobe, have a lot to re-educate these Iraqis about the realities of political, philosophical and spiritual bondage...

Now..., repeat after me.
