Suddenly all you neoconservatives are claiming that the atrocities of Hussein are the reason we went to war in Iraq. Just to clarify, which of the following are you saying:

(a) We knew about the atrocities, and it was part of the reason for going to war in Iraq, but we would still have gone to war anyway because of WMD;

(b) We knew about the atrocities, and it was part of the reason for going to war in Iraq, but we would still have gone to war anyway because of the relationship with AQ;

(c) The atrocities in Iraq were the worst in the world, and it makes sense to go to preemptive war with the state committing the worst atrocities;

(d) The atrocities in Iraq weren't the worst or among the worst, but we were going to war there anyway, so it's good that we can take care of these atrocities; and/or

(e) Whatever else you can say to clarify your position...

(f) Saddam Hussein was a bad man. Bush attacked him, so Bush is good. Kerry is running against Bush, so Kerry, like Hussein, is bad.
