No one cares about the Congo. No one cared about Cambodia. No one cared about the Great Terror in Russia. What makes this writer think that people would care about Saddam enough to threaten force?

They wouldn't have. This writer knows that, but he is not intellectually honest enough to admit it. George Bush was, however. Saddam's contempt for the rights of his people was one of the stated reasons for going to war. Nobody was listening that part of the speech, I guess.

They did listen to that part, and contrasted Iraq with other countries' human rights records. On human rights abuse alone, Iraq didn't rate #1.

On WMD alone, Iraq didn't rate #1.

But as to doable, in America's security interest, and probably yielding an improvement in human rights for the Iraqis over the next 5 years, yes it made some sense.

No, secretagent. They knew about Saddam and Saddam's murders and his weapons.

They didn't care. They didn't care in the Thirties and they don't care now. The left has neither morals nor principles.

Be Seeing You,
