There's always the open letter to Bill Clinton by the Project for a New
American Century (PNAC). It can be found here:
http://www.newamericancentury.org/iraqclintonletter.htm

It argues that Clinton/Blair's "containment policy" (genocidal sactions plus
routine bombing sorties) is not working and that he should pursue regime
change. It is signed:

Sincerely,
Elliott Abrams    Richard L. Armitage    William J. Bennett

Jeffrey Bergner    John Bolton    Paula Dobriansky

Francis Fukuyama    Robert Kagan    Zalmay Khalilzad

William Kristol    Richard Perle    Peter W. Rodman

Donald Rumsfeld    William Schneider, Jr.    Vin Weber

Paul Wolfowitz    R. James Woolsey    Robert B. Zoellick


The usual suspects, in other words.-CP
