Quote of the day

Via InstaPundit, Ralph Peters at the NY Post:

The antiwar movement was a fad for moral lightweights eager to portray themselves as heroes.

Also, make sure you check out Mark's awesome response to an anonymous loser. It's awesome... he did what I couldn't Smiley Thanks Mark!

I Disagree.
I thought (still think) that we should not have gone to war at the time we did. We did, and I have great respect for the Coalition forces for the way they handled the war with respect to civilians and trying to take the country intact so to speak. However I still think that we went into war far too soon, and I think that we (well America really) shouldn't have this attitude of judge, jury and executioner (and reform officer). Okay so the UN doesn't work, but that doesn't excuse vigilante wars.

Too soon? We waited 12 years while Iraq failed to comply with their surrender agreement with us from the last war. We waited months after Iraq failed to cooperate with a unanimously passed security council resolution for which there were "serious consequences" promised for non-compliance. We were justified in every possible way. Calling it a "vigilante" war doesn't make it such.
