AN ASTERISK AND A FOOTNOTE: I've been asked (most recently by Camille) what my position on war with Iraq is. As I've grown fond of saying, I support it, with an asterisk and a footnote. Ergo:
I support war with Iraq*.
*Understanding that I support it because I believe in Iraqi freedom, and the potential of democratic government there. Since we pass the four-point test for forcible regime change, I believe was to remove Saddam and the Baathists can be justified. This does not, of course, require believing that this is the goal of the Bush administration, or even a goal they have.
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
