I hate told-you-so commentaries, but I hope I am forgiven when I reminisce here how in many heated debates it has always been my staunch position, that WMD never constituted a prerequisite for military action in order to bring about a regime change in Iraq.

If ever in modern times there is a legitimate analogy to Dictator Hitler, it surely is Dictator Saddam Hussein. Period. How many more innocent subjects did he have to torture, gas, summarily execute for the world to take note?!

As to WWII, I have yet to come accross a more succinct summary of US involvement:

Which brings us to World War II. And, of course, Rice is dead right: Once the war was over, we spent years cultivating democracy in Japan and Germany. But we entered the war because Japan attacked us and, four days later, Adolf Hitler declared war on us.

Again, Hear Hear, David Gelernter!

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declined yesterday to rule out U.S. forces being needed in Iraq
