Regardless of the reason for the American intervention in Iraq, the end
result couldn't have been happier for the Iraqis or more loaded with hope
for other Arabs.

Whatever the pretextual reasons for going to Iraq (WMD? support for Al-Qaeda?
[not in evidence yet] or monetary support for PLO suicide bombers [fact] ), the
whole endeavor may prove to be THE master stroke of this century.

We MUST stay the course. There is absolutely no alternative. (The policy of
preemption is already paying dividends in the form of Libya's recent
announcement that it will allow inspectors to come in and remove all forms of
its WMD programs.)

The next US Presidential election is more crucial to the future of the Western
world than anyone can now imagine.
