A Comment Made Elsewhere

Kelly Caldwell has expressed her reservations about the televised debates around the Second Gulf War. I responded:

It’s a good thing that a free people can listen in on the Congress when it is considering whether to commit itself to becoming the world’s chief bully and make a hopeless shambles of an already bad economy. I just wonder if the big decision is going to be a smart one. After the experience of the infamous fabricated Kuwaiti incubator story, I can’t say that I am going into this war ready to trust any rationale for it. Madison Avenue’s invented atrocities and skewed the picture before. I am just waiting to see what “killer argument” they are going to come up to counter all the UN fact finding teams?
