      ab: Part of a special section on a U.S. war against Iraq. The writer outlines why he views Saddam Hussein's regime as pathological and distinct from other miserable regimes in existence today, arguing that, in the absence of a coup, force will eventually be needed to defang Saddam's regime. He urges the Left to evaluate the Iraqi danger independently both of distrust of President George W. Bush and of third-worldist biases. Furthermore, he considers the mixed record of past UN weapons inspections programs in Iraq, makes his case for dealing with Saddam now rather than later, voices his support for preemption in the case of dealing with Saddam's regime in Iraq, and explains why he will not back an antiwar movement.
