Ted do you believe Saddam Hussien is not evil? Your argument is hinting at a moral equivalence between the US and Saddam's Iraq that I would say does not exist.

Tim, the point that I was making is that too often in the past leaders will declare a potential enemy as evil if an effort to develop a moral imperivative for going to war. In fact, that was Steve's explanation when Al, I think, asked him why we should go after Saddam.

First off, I don't think Bush nor Rice nor Cheney, the president, are in a position to decide who's evil. They may feel they are but I am perfectly able to make that call for myself.

Secondly, if evil is the basis for going to war, there is a short list of evil in this world so why only go after Saddam? Why do you think Sadam is more dangerous than say Pakistan's Mussereff?
