Anti-Climacus

ADDENDUM: You have to remember, of course, that my idea of the primary motivation for intervention in Iraq is not removal of WMD, but removal of Saddam Hussein from power. This, I think, substantially changes what to look for in terms of international cooperation, etc. I'm not, of course, making the claim that the Bush Administration, in any but the most ancillary of senses, shares this goal--so it's not an argument about what the Bushies need to do in this particular situation, but a recognition of what we would have to do if we accepted a different set of responsibilities in the world.
