Ted,

There are some very intelligent people with cogent arguments making the case against a pre-emptive strike against Iraq. If you are not hearing them, then you are doing it by intent.

I read a lot of arguments, and they are mostly anything but cogent.

Basically, I would accept argument from someone who supported first Iraq war, but opposed bombing of Yugoslavia. This way, there would be a consistency in their argument, which is, you don't go around attacking sovereign countries unless attacked first (or allies attacked), or facing imminent attack.

The list of people who make this extremely simple argument (and do so consistently) is surprisingly short.

Joe
