You know, that's a really good one - makes quite a few valid points.

Like I said in an earlier post today, I used to be a "peacenik" until events
convinced me otherwise.  I still think Vietnam was a costly mistake - and
even my hawk of a father agreed with me eventually - but I honestly don't
see what else we could have done in the Persian Gulf in 1991 or last  year
in Afghanistan.  The murder of over 3,000 innocent civilians in the name of
jihad cannot go unresponded.

The initiative against Iraq needs to be carefully thought out and presented
to the UN and the world for it to work at all.  If not, we'll be isolated as
we were in Vietnam, which cost us so dearly in more than lives.
