Anti-Climacus

LINK: OxBlog quotes the latest conservative to go wobbly on Rumsfeld. I find the argument that we need to be worried about our international prestige a little odd, because it seems to me that we ought to be worried more about doing what's right to do, regardless of what anyone else thinks (wasn't this a big part of the case for going into Iraq?). If the merits of the case say he should go, he should go, but tossing him aside to score points is as ridiculous as changing anything just to improve the opinions others have of us.
