I'm listening to clips of the peace-at-any-price-pundits on the the Hugh Hewitt Show. Are we in Wonderland? Janeane Garofolo talks non-stop. Nobody else gets a word in edgewise. But her opponents just quibble over facts that don't matter. It's the significance of those facts that should be at issue. You can't just say "Inspections work!" over and over and make it true. She's like a kid with her hands over her ears yellling, "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" Why try to argue with people when they won't even agree on fundamental terms. If someone tells you that no proof will convince them, why go on?


"Saddam is not a threat!" So his invasion of Iran and Kuwait were just geographic errors by his troops? His plots to assassinate George Bush 41 were made up by Bill Clinton's administration. Gassing the Kurds? None of this rings a bell?


"Not unless the U.N. approves!" Don't the first 16 resolutions mean a thing? Resolution 1441 says he's in material breach. What more can the U.N. say? When did France become the indispensable ally? Didn't the U.N. authorize our repulsing him from Kuwait, and didn't he sign an agreement that he would destroy all his wmds? The U.N., by only acting on when the S.C. is unanimous, will never, never produce peace, because it is people like Saddam who create war, and people like Chirac and Schroeder who allow it to flourish.


"It's unprovoked agression!" See the above.
