On a related note, I listened to an NPR broadcast of Ted Kennedy's speech on the Senate floor last week, in which he outlined all of his reasons for opposing the resolution authorizing the use of force in Iraq, including: we need a national debate (which we've been having for, oh, the past four months), Iraq is not a threat (never mind the bio-weapons, the nuke program, the financing of terrorists, and the provision of Iraqi military expertise to al-Qaeda), and—my favorite—we should not commit the nation to war with Iraq until we've tried alternative means of achieving our goal of eliminating his WMDs and his WMD programs.
That last one was so ridiculous that I burst out laughing: where there hell have you been for the past decade, Ted?
Then I realized that it must be very difficult to keep track of events in the outside world from the bottom of a bottle of Chivas.
