Arguing about preemptive war seems
not to work very well, so I have tried instead to illustrate the four basic
arguments with modest haiku:
1. Screw international law, we're
strong enough to do what we want.
Today we're strongest,
But watch those Lilleputians;
Gulliver can't sleep.
2. The United Nations won't do what
we want, so we should ignore it.
During spring cleaning,
Every flawed tool is tossed.
An empty box.
3. Iraq threatens the United States.
Couldn't beat Iran;
No rockets that can reach us;
Iraq frightens us.
4. The Iraqi people need to be saved
from this tyrant.

Amnesty Internat'nal
Logo on smart bombs?
Remember the rules --- each line of the haiku
must form a complete image - no fair just chopping a 17-syllable sentence
into artificial lines!
