Suma, Its great to be against stuff. But someone has to actually do things in the world we live in. Lets assume that you do not want war. What can we do to Iraq? Sanctions - Jensen runs an organization opposed to them . So if you cannot make war, and cannot sanction - if a country invades someone or regularly tries to wreak havoc - how do we oppose them? The right thing to have done was take Baghdad the last time and impose a multi-year marshal plan to educate and build a democratic country. Japan may not have been illiterate at the end of WW2, but it had no democratic tradition and was only a couple of generations from being a fuedal society. The people who opposed the Gulf War pointed to Kuwait being an oligarchy - in their view no better than Saddam. Funny thing is the same people are using Arab and Kuwaiti concern on our finally dealing with Saddam as an excuse for us not to go in. The Arab world does not want a US or even UN run Marshal plan in Iraq. The American left and Arab dictators - united in oppostion to the liberation of iraq :-) John
