I came across another thoughtful write-up of the reasoning behind an invasion of Iraq. Eject! Eject! Eject!: WAR makes a pretty good case, in my opinion, for war. The first argument is very bold:
The impending military action is not the pre-emptive opening of hostilities against a sovereign nation, but rather the continuation of hostilities began by Iraq in 1990 with their invasion of Kuwait; said resumption being a direct result of repeated and flagrant violations of the ceasefire signed by Iraq in 1991.
It also debunks the very stupid hypothesis that this war is all about oil. That’s almost the worst insult thrown around by the hyper-eco-fanatics…
