Mass Graves
This story about babies found in mass graves shows what is wrong with Kerry's vision of the world and why we must never submit our foreign policy to a global test (via lgf):
Mr Kehoe said that work to uncover graves around Iraq, where about 300,000 people are thought to have been killed during Saddam Hussein’s regime, was slow as experienced European investigators were not taking part.
The Europeans, he said, were staying away as the evidence might be used eventually to put Saddam Hussein to death.
It is after all far more important to make sure Saddam stays alive than it is to help identify his thousands of innocent infant victims.
Update: Junkyardblog has more: In Fahrenheit 9-11, Michael Moore portrays Iraq as an idyllic land where kids flew kites.
If he's right, Moore worshippers, where did all the dead babies come from? And how did they end up in mass graves?
And then there is this quote: Mr Kehoe investigated mass graves in the Balkans for five years but those burials mainly involved men of fighting age and the Iraqi finds were quite different, he said.
"I've been doing grave sites for a long time, but I've never seen anything like this, women and children executed for no apparent reason," he said.
And if Kerry and Moore had their way these graves would still be being filled, not uncovered.
