A nice concise statement from the "We are already at War" camp. I think we're already at war, so "no war" is pretty much off the table for me; the choice is either war in Iraq on our terms or war in Manhattan on their terms, and given those options I tend to prefer Iraq. The subtle distinctions between Saddam and Osama are shades of black in my moral palette: They're both wholly evil, and I can't find a compelling argument that says Western civilization would be improved by standing down our armies and leaving Saddam to his infernal devices.
