Whatever you can accuse Rumsfeld and Cheney of (and I believe they formulated this policy), immaturity and inexperience in the arena of foreign policy aren't among them. Well then... let's just say they are absolute, bellicose, ideologic, unilateral moralists living in a complex, multilateral, dimensional world. their 'moral clarity' is designed to line up with our national interest, jcky. The case for Saddam's supporting Al Qaeda is thin, but for his training terrorists and supporting Palestinian terrorists is rock solid. I understand, Nadine. I was being facetious to illustrate the administration's lack of presentational skills in convincing our allies on a policy of pre-emptive war against Iraq. Of course, it's hard to convince an audience when the administration has no clear solutions on addressing a post-Saddam Iraq. The core of the argument is, the situation in Iraq is too dangerous to be let alone to degenerate further. It's a compelling argument but not a definitive reason to invade Iraq.
