We'd better speak up now -- before, not after, the body bags start arriving.



Marc Cooper is complaining about the Democrats not objecting to the coming war with Iraq.
He managed to be in Iraq shortly before the last war and notes the "sheer and sinister megalomaniacal evil" that pervades the country. But he felt that war was unjustified and this coming war is even less justified.

During Iraq War 1, I was deeply troubled but supported it because the world should not permit invasions of other countries and doing nothing when Iraq took Kuwait would be a terrible precedent.

This time there is no strong case other than the evolving doctrine of Pax Americana.

"We don't like you. We are the World Empire. No one can stop us from destroying Evil around the world."

I have no problem opposing this war.
