Title: Weapons of Mass Delusion
Review: Paul Berman's attempt to make a case for war on Iraq is based on anecdotal evidence that so far has not been borne out.The first part of the book is his attempt to `prove' he is a liberal.Sir, I really don't care if you are a zebra. You were co-opted by the conservatives you so despised. What a fool!Berman's arguments for war are based on discursive `facts' and hearsay. His arguments for a liberal regime in Iraq are also faulty. And his discussion of 'terrorism' fails to convince.Right now, you are probably very disconcerted how things have turned out (no WMD) but your rationale (`but Sadam was a WMD.') is a weak case for a first strike.Leave this book for the political science class of 2053 as they try to make `sense' of the Iraq War and how `rational' people could have supported such a lark.
