The humanitarian case for the ... (Dec 09 2003 17:58 GMT) - The humanitarian case for the Iraq war Some leftists have argued that the humanitarian argument for deposing Saddam Hussein is an afterthought war proponents came up with when WMDs failed to turn up. That is not at all correct. This search in my blog, for one, should reveal a number of occasions I argued this point before, during and after the major combat phase. On February 15, I wrote about Tony Blair's poignant observation that there would be no protest march for the victims of Saddam: Tony Blair responded to his critics with a passionate speech about the cruelty of Saddam Hussein's regime, arguing that that the inaction the marchers want would continue to see the Iraqi people starving, being tortured and killed. |

US Air Pulls Tickets From Expedia (Dec 09 2003 17:58 GMT) - In the early days of internet commercialization there was all this talk about how it was going to cut out the middlemen. Then, people began to realize that middlemen often (though, certainly not always) serve a purpose in aggregating options for buyers and sellers. Now, however, some industries are beginning to rebel against the more successful middlemen. Already we've seen hotels try to take back inventory control from travel booking websites, and now, it looks like more and more airlines are doing the same. US Air has now announced that they're pulling their flights off Expedia after Expedia started charging a higher booking fee on US Air flights. |
