Debate Over U.S. Policy in Persian Gulf

How could our Administration have been so stupid? It’s obvious now that the Conference of Catholic Bishops and the National Council of Churches have seen fit to enlighten us. All that would have been required last August would have been for these highly principled bodies to have passed their resolutions deploring the Iraqi conduct and forwarded these to Hussein. Think of all the problems and costs this would have saved us, since no doubt, immediately upon receiving his copies of these resolutions, Hussein would have seen the error of his ways, withdrawn his troops and apologized to the Kuwaitis.

May the good Lord protect us from his benighted servants!
