I see HAWK takes on one of it's usual connotations. LOL. If you're suggesting that I'm hawkish on preserving some semblance of international order and dispute resolution, then you're quite correct. I've very hawkish when it comes to preventing the UN from going the way of the league of Nations. We saw how many millions of lives were lost because the LofN was rendered impotent in the face of tyranny. I'm quite different in my perspective regarding the overthrow of Saddam, which I think should have taken place immediately in 1998, when he ceased cooperation with UNSCOM and initiated a material breach of the 1991 cease-fire. By it's very logic, when a cease-fire is violated, or unilaterally terminated, the situation immediately defaults back to the previous state of hostilities. Always believe Bush made a tremendous mistake by not emphasizing this implicit and readily understandable logic. I think the American people would have been more understanding of such a premise than trying to tie Saddam to Al-Qaida (which was actually discovered, post-facto, to have been the case as early as 1993).
