Ah, the Petting Zoo Analogy Ressurected


A lot of pro-war-ites are justifying the recently discovered mass graves as justification for the invasion. Daily Koss explains it correctly:
Yes, we've found mass graves in Iraq. Oddly enough, most date back to the uprising after the Gulf War, the one where we encouraged the Shia and Kurds to rise up against Saddam and then let them be slaughtered. It's as if we unleashed a pit bull in a petting zoo and then express astonishment at the dead bunnies and chicks lying around. Then, a few weeks later, say that we need to take over the petting zoo because the owner lets pit bulls run around and kill things.
