:: Monday, August 04, 2003 :: You could find a much less productive use for you time than to read Norman Geras' column in the Opinion Journal as he tries to explain Why did so many on the left march to save Saddam Hussein?What they align themselves with is a future of prolonged hardship and suffering for the Iraqi people, whether via an actual rather than imagined quagmire, a ruinous civil war, or the return (out of either) of some new and ghastly political tyranny; rather than a rapid stabilization and democratization of the country, promising its inhabitants an early prospect of national normalization. That is caring more to have been right than for a decent outcome for the people of this long-unfortunate country.
