BEFORE, AND... SHH, BEFORE...
Political cartoons make for good short-attention-span fun from time to time. And with all the hoopla coming from the Bushies on how we have to go to war with Iraq NOW, the Washington Post's oft-amusing Tom Toles draws attention to a potential reality that the chickenhawks sure aren't talking about, and probably aren't even thinking about.
As Tom Friedman pointed out several weeks back, Iraq's recent pre-Saddam track record for democracy, or even the rule of law, is virtually non-existent. In fact, Iraq's last significant experience with the rule of law may have been the code of Hammurabi, three millenia ago.
