Another good polemic from Ted Rall :

Incredibly, the next move of the man dubbed “Gore out of control” by Fox News was to declare an unprovoked war on Iraq. “Saddam Hussein has weapons of mass destruction, he’s an evil dictator and he’s a threat to world peace,” Gore railed to a joint session of Congress. When the United Nations refused to support Gore’s request for an international coalition, even Congressional Democrats decided that they had had enough of their bellicose leader, and joined their counterparts across the aisle. “There’s no proof that Saddam Hussein has WMDs,” declared Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle. “Until that changes, we have no grounds for a preemptive strike—an act that violates every precept of international law.” Nonetheless, Gore relied on the War Powers Act to order in the Marines.
