Ours Not To Reason Why
Shouldn't Americans have some kind of role in deciding whether we go to war against Iraq?

Al, this guy from the WA Post captures exactly how this effort to go to war has been handled. Had the administration been more forthright, they would not be having nearly the problems they are having right now. They never had the evidence or solid reasons needed to support a preemptive strike, so instead came up with vague allegations and suppositions. It became a little bit like "the emperor with no clothes".

Intuitively and masterfully, I might add, Gore picked up on this issue and also realized that people who were opposed were afraid to speak out for fear of being cast as a benedict arnold. It should have been Kennedy who spoke out first......after all, who could call him a traitor with his lineage but it was Gore who had the cajones. And what he's done is popped the bubble of pretension and guile around this issue and for the first time, there is real debate.
