Nobel peace laureate Elie Wiesel says Iraq war justified

[mburbank]

I'm not sure I take your meaning.

I agree, I think Weisel's opinion bears way more respect than Wolfowitz, Perle, Rumsfled, Chenney and Bush. I take him quite seriously and woould never imagine him a pawn of the Right under any circumstances. Quite the opposite. That being said, I don't think suffering conveys infallability and I reserve the right to disagree with him, particularly in what he thinks the outcome of the war will be. Time will certinly tell.

However, none of the aforementioned hawks all of whom were influential during the Reagan Administration which thoroughly dismissed Mr. Weisels impasioned and well reasoned plea that the President of the United States out not to lay a wreath in an S.S. cemetary.

I also miss the point of your reference to Abu, who I don't see mentioned (although perhaps I read too fast) anywhere else in this thread or reffered to at all.
