the problem with that Tyler and Stevenson piece from the Times is that it doesn't consider what the costs of not taking on Iraq now might be. That is, one of the central reasons to do it is because if we don't, then pretty soon the vast majority of the world's future energy supplies may come under the control or influence of a nuclear-armed barbarian. Very hard to price out the likelihood and potential economic costs of that scenario, but that's the other side of the story that the Times didn't explore.
