Isn't that what Gautam is doing? Saying that the anti-war protestors are being hypocritical for not caring about the Iraqi people 1, 2 or 5 years ago? I don't know where I stand on this issue, actually. Despite my better judgement, I find myself being more and more convinced (largely as a result of dialog on this list) that Saddam must go. But I'm not entirely comfortable with it. Starting a war against another country isn't something that has happened in the US in recent times (Gulf of Tonkin, not withstanding). It was easy to tell the good guys from the bad guys. The bad guys started the war; the good guys finished it (Vietnam not withstanding). I don't know, I'm not articulating very well. - jmh My family thinks I'm turning into a hawk Maru _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
