AYE, THERE'S THE NUB:
Global rally against war on Iraq (AP, October 27, 2002)"Saddam Hussein is one of the absolutely worst dictators in the world today... but that doesn't justify the U.S.A.'s war plans," Gudrun Schyman, leader of Sweden's former communist Left Party, told the crowd in Stockholm."You don't disarm a regime by conducting an armed war."
That's really the nub of the question here: do the world's democracies have a right to topple its dictatorships? Posted by Orrin Judd at October 27, 2002 8:51 AM

"Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied over with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry,
And lose the name of action."
How appropriate in regards to the UN Security Council and some Europrean nations. Is it any wonder Will Shakes is timeless?
Unfortunately he's a dead white European male, do the Left doesn't read him. They prefer "Rent" and "Oh, Calcutta"
