May I suggest that before you steal the Washington Monument you first find a deep enough well to hide it in. The debate is not about if Saddam is a humanitarian or not. It is about what the outcome of this war will be. And unless we understand how we get ourselves into these hot spots in the first place, this whole exercise is a waste of time, money, and lives, because we'll be fighting Iraqis again in another generation.

If believed Michael's point that "What Bush is doing now, is setting a moral compass for foreign policy" then I could be persuaded to support Bush. But I see nothing that says he understands an ethical approach to foreign policy is superior (read serves us much better in the long run) than the "self-interest" policies that we've been addicted to for so long.

PS Michael you still owe me that drink since the Afghanistan debate.
