Re: Democratic leadership

Your reasons for "not thinking about Kosovo" are obvious, as it turns your "rank hypocrisy" comment on its head.

The Iraq then and the Iraq now could not exactly be called apples and apples either. The Iraq then was kicking out weapons inspectors and aggressively attacking the Kurds; Saddam is not doing either currently.

I do feel there is a strong argument for Saddam being in violation of 1441 and taking him out now, but the situation now and then are not exactly analogous. Were Saddam in the middle of a genocidal rampage a la Milosovic '99 I have no doubt the rest of the world would be shoulder to shoulder with us on this, and the voices of dissent from the Dems would not be so loud.
