Outstanding interview. I too am a 'democratic libertarian' who voted for Nader. Paglia makes the most compelling case against attacking Iraq I have read or heard. The Bush approach is typical Republican; just tell people what they, by god, have to do and make them do it with a beefed up police force and military. It's all so simple. But the real problem is in the long term repercussions, not just to our economy, but a likely INCREASE in terrorism that will last for years, possibly decades. The Bush administration should call time out and think deeply about unintentional long-term consequences.

What you have to consider are the long term "reprecussions" of doing nothing about Iraq. Especially at this point after all the words that have come from us. I'm for taking care of Iraq and let the chips fall where they may. I'm not afraid of the Arab/Muslim world.

They want to rumble well now they got it! You should just get out of the way. Lord knows you won't be complaining when your oil/gasoline supply are stabilized by the US instead of being threatened by Saddam (with the help of the Chinese) a few years from now.

A voice of reason and prudence on foreign policy which the Wilsonian freepers should heed...though why in the heck did not vote for a has-been statist like Ralph Nader who has nothing but contempt for liberty?
