Hi LB - I posted that same excerpt last night cut-and-pasted from the White House website. Very glad to see the full text in the NY Times. It's in the Washpost as well. Reading it again sends chills up my spine. I look back with regret and something akin to nostalgia to those armchair arguments we used to have about what we should have done to stop Hitler. Faced with a similar choice now. How many millions will die if we don't act? How many millions will die if we do? There is a deep moral barrier to step over when initiating force. In my heart, I was hoping they'd just go ahead and do it and get it over with. Now I have to write my congressmen (they're all men) and tell them how I want them to vote, so the consequences will be on my head, too. I'm pretty sure they'd vote "yes" anyway, but it will make them feel better to know that this is what the voters want, too. Everybody, please write your members of Congress and tell them how you want them to vote. house.gov senate.gov
