I normally despise the opinions of both Nat Hentoff and The Village Voice, but this article is startling in its moral clarity and honest outrage. I don't agree, however, on one very important point: Saddam is a threat to the US and its allies, if not now then definately five years down the road. And its our responsibility, in light of the horrifying possibilities opened up by 9/11, to dispense with him preemptively, before he has a chance to realize any of his anti-Western ambitions.
