If they were to rid the world of Saddam and his weapons, they would have to bring on board one influential conservative whose name wasn't on the letter--who at the time was in thought and deed far removed from the Washington policy village. That person was Dick Cheney, who had good reasons to contest the view that the end of Gulf War I had been mishandled--because he was one of those who ended...

"We had certain strategies and policies and institutions that were built to deal with the conflicts of the 20th century," Vice President Dick Cheney said recently. "They might not be the right strategies and policies and institutions to deal with the threat we face...
