LINK: Another convert. Did you ever notice that there seems to be a resignation, almost to the point of depression, on the part of those who conclude that force is necessary?
"The United Nations should not be at an impasse. The Western world should not be forced to choose between a rock and a hard place. Both Bush and Blair must share some of the blame for where we now find ourselves.
But the harsh reality is that if the Americans were to be rebuffed and humiliated in the next two weeks, the real victors would not be the UN but Saddam Hussein, Kim Jong-il and similar despots around the world. The moral case might remain ambiguous and uncertain. The political one has become unanswerable."
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
