Well - An attack of opportunity on Saddam. Probably traveling from bunker to bunker

As we are a few hours away from war I can help but wonder how long the president have the Iraqs' stew? Clearly going immediately to war at the deadline doesn't pack the same impact that say, six hours after the deadline will. We will see. There's a great article over at Salon. You can find it here. in a nut shell the article wonders why the progressive left can compare the president to Hitler but cannot in the same breadth hold Saddam accountable for the his actions. Not all nation states are created equally. Stalinist regimes with secret police are not the same as Western democracies. One of the real problems with United Nations is that it treats all states equally when they are not equal.
