"Be strong on Iraq. Democrats have bet on failure." says Rove. This will work if Americans buy into the notion that the justness of an act ion is conditioned by execution. Success or failure in Iraq is not the issue. Isn't the real issue whether or not the war was just? Most legal, ethical and religious scholars overwhemingly agree that they it was not.
The Nazis were "successful" at murdering millions of Jews. They were brutally, terribly, efficient. Had the Nazis won WWII and completed the Final Solution" would this have justified their action? No, Of course not. The question is absurd. Yet somehow Americans of all stripes--Dems and GOPers alike--use the daily headlines to back up their side of the Iraq question. i oppose the war--not because we happen to be winning losing on a given day---but because it is illegal and immoral.
