Carolina Journal - Right War at the Right Time, By John Hood

The American and coalition intervention in Iraq was the right war, at the right time. By all means, there remain legitimate grounds for questioning the Bush administration's prosecution of the war and reconstruction. Rich Lowry's latest cover story in National Review, entitled "What Went Wrong," provides some interesting and well-source observations on that score. But don't let the revisionists, isolationists, and anti-Bush ideologues rewrite history through selective quotation, innuendo, and outright fraud and deceit. Saddam Hussein represented a grave danger to the United States, was a common denominator in the threat of anti-American terrorism and of the use of bio-weapons against us, and was one of the cruelest dictators of the 20th century.
