Broken Pipes

I normally try not to post "what he said" messages based on the work of another blogger, but Xymphora made a find which deserves wide attention.

Neo-con mastermind Daniel Pipes recently went on record as saying that "All of us want to see a free and prosperous Iraq, but it is not a moral obligation on us. Just because we got rid of Saddam Hussein doesn't mean that we are obligated to fix Iraq." But in 1987, this same Pipes argued that we should arm Saddam Hussein and give him economic aid.

Your average hit man must have a keener moral sense than is possessed by Daniel Pipes.
