...That's because in order to make the case at home and abroad for a war to oust Saddam Hussein, the administration faces the daunting task of changing the way the Western world thinks about war and peace. Invading Iraq (outside of U.N. authorization) in order to remove Saddam Hussein even on the grounds of his weapons programs would be a preemptive aggression against another state in order to eliminate a potential, rather than an imminent threat - an action both unprecedented for the U.S. and at odds with the system of international relations that has for the most part kept...

Like the "Afghan model," the "October surprise" can be implemented relatively quickly and has the advantage of a first-round knockout - it doesn't seriously test the political-military stamina of the U.S. war effort. Skeptics foresee massive loss of life on both sides (and among...
...than reduced, by success. Unless the U.S. is willing to assume the imperial commitment of a tough-loving single parent to a brutalized and resentful region, the involvement of allies aboard will be even more crucial to the task of remaking Iraq after Saddam than in the campaign to oust him in the first place. That may be one reason President Bush chose, this week, to emphasize his patience in relation to his commitment to getting rid of Saddam Hussein...
