Conditional - Virginia Postrel on

Conditional - Virginia Postrel on the Iraqi idea of "unconditional inspections."

As the Japanese and the would-be Confederate States can testify, the U.S. government traditionally takes the idea of "unconditional" a bit more literally than the United Nations seems to.

And, we might add, more literally than most of the US left seem to, today. The paeons they're putting up for Hussein's magnanimity are...instructive?
