TB - I am about 2/3 of the way through it, and I would say that it is shifting my opinion. Picked it up after JohnM mentioned it a week or so ago, and have been slogging through it when I have time. I tend toward the liberal side, and was a long way from convinced that this war was a grand idea. I still question whether it is a grand idea, I see a number of pitfalls, both stated and implied in Pollack, and have serious doubts that those in power will do what is necessary if they succeed in deposing Saddam. However, I am coming over to Pollack's view that 'removal' is the least bad option, and the only practical one left.
If W had made this sort of argument first, instead of announcing a war, and then searching for a reason, many more folks might be on his side. Back to lurking, and thanks for your posts. Most interesting.
