Thomas Friedman (who supports war against Iraq) has a responsible column in the NYT today. He makes it clear that Saddam is not a threat to the U.S., he can be deterred, and he’s not connected to Al Qaeda. He then tells the Bushies that if they want a war of aggression, they should be honest about why. To tell Americans it’s because of a neoconservative neo-imperialist vision of spreading democracy in the Middle East with a sword through nation building. The problem is they can’t. I don’t think Americans would support a war if they weren’t scared or felt threatened.
