Last night, a local talk-show host said that the situation in Iraq changes nothing with respect to his principle that the US should not wage preemptive war. I completely agree with his position on his principles as I would hope everyone would. I disagree. It propagates the lie that this is a pre-emptive war and that this war had no national security basis. It assumes that the US might take pre-emptive action outside of a real national security threat. Beside the lies, ignorance of fact and fear mongering, I have no problem with the guys comment. The thinking and propaganda of the anti-war movement MUST be discredited now. Their ideas, their failure to analyse, their knee-jerk mistrust are not simply alternative ideas. They are dangerous ideas and they are being proven wrong by the facts. Paul
