Scott - thanks for the Ellsberg link. That is, indeed, a very good article. And I understand your points. But you didn't quite answer my question: if Iraq was shown, say, to have given a nerve or biologic to terrorists, with clear intent to use on US population centers, would war be warranted? Totally agree, however, that there are a range of threats we face beyond Iraq. Difficult to rank them. However watching Bush tonight (whom I do not like, btw, so I definitely can't be accused of any positive bias there), I had a strange feeling that he knows something that he can't share, something so scary, so existential, that it is totally driving his world view and actions. He seemed strained, as if something deeply weighed on him. Yes, an woman's intuition hardly makes for a compelling argument. Still, I can't shake the feeling that something dark is approaching, one way or another. Maybe I should buy gold tomorrow ;}
