July 15, 2003THE ANTI-WAR PARTY"Now, let's imagine the future. What if he [Saddam] fails to comply and we fail to act or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction? Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And someday, some way, I guarantee you, he will use the arsenal” - Bill Clinton, Meet the Press, February 17, 1998 ." And now, it is the future. The Democrats have morphed into the anti-war party, and Saddam--if he's alive--must be cheering them on. As my barber, Tony, a source of greater wisdom than the NYTimes Op-Ed page said to me this morning: "Why don't the Democratic Presidential candidates just put on those uniforms the enemy threw away, pick up some guns and join the fight against us."

"Why don't the Democratic Presidential candidates just put on those uniforms the enemy threw away, pick up some guns and join the fight against us."
We must remember the Democrat's cardinal rule for the use of American military force: U.S. military force is a positive good until the precise point at which its use is in American foreign policy and defense interests. Firing guns at U.S. troops would only prolong the use of military force in those interests; ergo, it only makes sense that they would do no such thing.
