You put the justification for the war in Iraq now squarely in humanitarian terms,

No moreso than previously; if you will review my posts you will see that I supported the war on humanitarian grounds from the outset.

Excuse me, but who are you trying to kid? This shift from worries over WMD to humanitarian concerns is a broad one that covers most of the recent rhetoric emanating from the right and that started not long after the war ended and increased in fervor as it become more and more apparent that Iraq was short on WMD and links to al Qaeda.

The right is doing everything it can to highlight how badly the Iraqis were treated under Saddam to shift the American focus from the new ground it struck in violating another nation's sovereignty simply because it wanted to, and to be able to justify this war and its cost in terms of the loss of lives and money.

If the American people let the right get away with this hypocrisy and duplicity, then they deserve everything that's coming down the pike.
