An excellent article.  Zakaria needs no introduction,
but I'll give a short one anyways.  He's currently the
editor of Newsweek International and formerly the
editor of Foreign Affairs.  He got his PhD at Harvard
studying under Stanley Hoffmann and Sam Huntington,
and his dissertation was turned into a really
excellent book, _From Wealth to Power_.  He's
occasionaly referred to as the man most likely to be
the first Indian Secretary of State.  I like to think
that he's the man _second_ most likely to claim that
title, but that's just me :-)  His brother, btw, is
the head of Merrill Lynch, so they're sure one heck of
a family.

Who could disagree with most of what he is saying? But why not keep working with our allies and the U.N. and keep the pressure on Hussain while continuing to support internal dissent. Actively seeking a peaceful solution has the potential of reaping all or most of the benefits of an immediate, preemptive attack and avoids the serious problems mentioned along with a few more I can think of including not having to rebuild the Iraqi infrastructure after it is destroyed and the good will of the international community.
