The best, most exhilarating --and funniest-- paper on Iraq so far:

EAGER FOR WAR

by

Russell Madden

Sometimes I think I will scream the next time I hear some of the "arguments" from those so eager to invade Iraq. Too many of these people are apparently incapable of thinking in terms of principles or of applying their ideas consistently across multiple situations. Still, the war-ites do excel at concrete-bound thinking, rationalizations, evasions, and context-dropping in their interminable quest to convince us that Saddam Hussein is an "immediate" threat.

What do the war-ophiles say (over and over and over...) with serious demeanor and steely-eyed intensity?
