Larry Miller says it all... weeklystandard.com "...And this is our problem today with Iraq. The folks on the left have seen, over and over, Saddam Hussein refuse to allow weapons inspections, and then they insist we try it again. They have seen him, over and over, perpetrate the most evil slaughters he can manage, and then they insist we wait and see what he does. They have railed for ten years against the "horrors" of our economic sanctions, and then they insist we give sanctions a chance. And in each instance, we conservatives, moronically loyal to the theory that people can always be swayed by logic and proof, smile back at them and restate our case. Well, it's time to move forward. They don't get it, and they never will. Which is fine, most of the time, but this time it involves our lives, the lives of our allies, and, just incidentally, the future of civilization. On September 10 on Fox, Rep. Nancy Pelosi said, "Going to war would show our power, but not going to war would show our strength." She followed this with the vacant smile usually associated with a village idiot, which, by the way, is just about what she is. All of them, Daschle, Biden, Leahy and the rest of the not-so-loyal opposition, know the truth and have always known it, but for whatever the reason--ambition or stupidity--have decided to blink and say, "Nah, it's just a tough crowd tonight." And it's time we shrug, let them run out of the theater, straighten our collars and shoot our cuffs, and enter from the wings to do exactly the job we know needs to be done."
