At Least They Don’t Call Them Baby-Killers Anymore
This letter to the L.A. Times (requires free registration) takes to task the protesters who use a feigned “support” of our troops as an excuse to leave Saddam in power. Yes, I realize that most pro-Saddamanti-war protesters do not really want Saddam in power, but who are we kidding? If we don’t take him out, neither will the tooth fairy, Jacques Chiraq or the U.N. At least the tooth fairy has a good excuse for her inaction.
Meanwhile, The Onion has an interesting take on the proverbial “blood for oil” trade-off. I’m still puzzled about that theory, though. For one thing, if it really is about oil, have we really used up all the oil we took in 1991? For another, as Stefan Sharkansky has recently pointed out, wouldn’t it be a lot easier to invade Mexico or Alberta instead?
