William Safire’s column in today’s NYT is worth reading, and encapsulates some of my frustrations with the critics of the administration’s Iraq policy: the argument not over the basic goals and objectives, but rather a gaggle of hand-wringing over what might go wrong. I agree that we have to account for contingencies, and that there are potentially serious pitfalls to be associated with a war with Iraq, but the fact that something might go wrong is not, in and of itself, a valid argument against action.
