Kevin G.

I was merely responding to Dale's initial comment regarding Sandy Berger's alleged theft of classified documents. Odd how you jumped on me for offering up what I viewed as a reasonable course of action. As to your request that I defend the opinions of Democrats everywhere, I must tell you that I am not one for identity politics. I speak for no one other than myself. I am however happy to provide a copy of my 1-21-03, pre-war post. Which, coincidentally, was also in response to Dale. After reading it, tell me, Kevin G. does the word "prescience" come to mind?

My 1-21-03 post:

As an American, I would fully support war against Saddam if there was
incontrovertible evidence that it A) played a role in the events of September 11th, or B) possessed, or was near to possessing nuclear weapons. Absent such evidence, I see no reason for our troops to die by the hundreds, and possibly by the thousands. I see no significant threat to the United States, even if Saddam does possess "non-nuclear weapons of mass destruction". At present, Saddam is contained, a threat to no one, other than, sadly, his own people. I would continue the no-fly zones, fund opposition groups, and, if the opportunity were to present itself, assassinate the man. We know that war will involve the deaths of many of our troops, innumerable civilians and possibly destabilize the region, the consequences of which no one can predict.

Just my 2 cents.
