Airstrip One

Don't speak. Just Die

Sam Francis comes out with a fairly concise piece as to why war on Iraq would be a bad idea. Good, and rather standard. The best bit is this:

High-level Civilian No. 1, apparently, is Richard N. Perle, head of the Defense Advisory Board, who assured the Post that "ultimately, U.S. policy on Iraq will be set by civilians," that it will involve a "political judgment," and that the brass hats in the Pentagon who are skeptical about a war "aren't competent" to make" it.
