| Wright's cartoon on Op-Ed page of 6/22/03 Times Picayune--shows four panels with a simple picture of a rock drawn in each one. The four panels read: 1. This rock doesn't believe weapons of mass destruction were found in Iraq. 2. Or that Iraq actually used such weapons. 3. Or that Iraqis were among the 9/11 hijackers. 4. Which, according to polls, makes it smarter than most Americans. And conservative columnist George Will chimes in with this (from his recent column entitled The Search For Credibility)-- "Some say the war was justified even if WMDs are not found nor their destruction explained, because the world is 'better off' without Saddam. Of course it is better off. But unless one is prepared to postulate a U.S. right, perhaps even a duty, to militarily dismantle any tyranny--on to Burma?--it is unacceptable to argue that Saddam's mass graves and torture chambers suffice as retrospective justification for pre-emptive war." He ends with this--"Until WMDs are found, or their absence accounted for, there is urgent explaining to be done." There is nothing new about this sentiment but that it comes from the mouth of George Will I think is an important turning point. |
