Reaction to Mideast War
“The belief that security can be obtained by throwing a small state to the wolves is a fatal delusion.”
Is that George Bush talking about Iraq’s 1990 invasion of tiny Kuwait?

U.S. response to Hussein’s aggression shows us that we may have learned history’s lesson that evil must be combatted sooner--or it will be combatted later.
