Fear on the Home Front
By BILL KELLER


A nicely balanced article, with a couple exceptions:

...any containment regime we can conceive in place of war will eventually unravel, because the outside world does not have the resolve to maintain it...

Weak. And even if the "outside world" does not, we are admittedly unafraid of unilateral action.

...any clampdown sufficiently draconian to reassure us would amount to a United Nations occupation, which would be a grave humiliation to Saddam...

And UN inspectors rifling through the palace linen closets lends itself to dignity?
