Am I A Warmonger?
“In all my 38 years, I have never before felt such a sense of personal shock. I am shocked that so many of my friends would rather a brutal dictator remained in power ? for that would be the direct consequence if their views won out ? than support military action by the United States. I am ashamed that they would rather believe the words of President Saddam Hussein than those of their own Prime Minister. I am nauseated that they would rather give succour to evil than think through the implications of their gut feelings.
I understand the feelings against war, God I don’t want it. I guess I just share the same question Condaleeza Rice asked, to paraphrase “What would the protesters do with Saddam Hussein?”

The problem now is that USA is trying to get the UN to help them get Saddam dethroned by hiding behind some kind of atomic threat against the world community (which was possible to claim after 11th sept). I don’t say it isn’t the best thing to remove Saddam, but a war might /not/ be the best way to do this.
