Re: [A-List] Ramsey Clark Letter

[Bob Enoch <bobenoch@xxxxxxx>]

I am a little bemused by this position of Clark's.
A few weeks ago, much of the world, according to articles published without
rebuttal on this and other left lists, was condemning the "coalition" for
failing to take steps to prevent the
despoliation of the Baghdad Museum, and dozens of hospitals.
A tank, and a few soldiers at such locations, it was said, would have
prevented these outrages.
How would they have done so?
By the threat, and almost certainly
the fact, of "shooting looters".
It seems to me that we cannot have it both ways .

The real criticism is that it should have been done much sooner.

I would be willing to bet that, during Mr. Clak's tenure the Smithsonian was
not left unguarded.
