Things can change quickly - (remember 1941 and Vietnam) the public and
congress moves quickly in the winds of passion and change in events - these
are very uncertain waters for those who love "moral clarity" The first rule
must be do no harm ! Delay seems the rational choice until thing are a
little less vague, chaotic, and uncertain.

 

A group of House Democrats, however, on Thursday condemned the move toward
military action, with Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, calling it
``unjustified, unwarranted and illegal.''

Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said she was introducing a resolution with 20
cosponsors calling on the United States to work with the U.N. to carry out
weapons inspections in Iraq. ``A preemptive, unilateral first strike would
set a terrible international precedent,'' she said.

While U.N. officials in New York prepared for the inspectors' return, U.S.
and British officials began working on a new U.N. resolution aimed at
authorizing use of force should Baghdad fail to comply with Security Council
resolutions.

Western diplomats said the U.S.-British draft likely would include new
instructions for weapons inspectors and a timetable for disarmament that
would be tighter than one laid out in an existing resolution passed in
December 1999.
