The truth about the war in Iraq...

The problem of arguing about the war in Iraq is that no one ever addresses the real issue.  What is the cost of action versus inaction?  If you are interested, the Foundation for Defending Democracy (I think I got that name right) released some new videos today of torture carried out under Saddam.  These are extremely graphic and there is an advisory not to watch them with children present.  I couldn't even get through them - had to leave the room.

While I was never in favor of being the world's police force - I can't see the morality in standing idly by while people are tortured and murdered.  With or without WMDs, this has to be the right thing to do.

  1. The Foundation for the Defense of Democracy (a non-partisan group) put these videos out yesterday and they are unbelievable!
