The President's order to bomb so-called military sites close to Baghdad today is unconscionable. At least his daddy gave Iraq some warning before he dropped bombs on their capitol ten years ago. Attempting to justify this terrorist act by placing it under the umbrella of threats to allied aircraft in the no-fly zone is duplicitous and inaccurate.

George W. Bush has a vendetta against Saddam Hussein handed down to him by his father, George Sr. And so--again--the people of Iraq suffer while the U.S. President acts like a bully in a middle school playground. The problem is that bombs kill people, whereas fists generally just bloody a nose or two. Why don't the two Georges set up their own personal hand-to-hand fight with their arch-enemy and keep the bombs out of it?
