Scurrilous attacks on Mr. Bush's case for war may gratify his partisan foes even as they make Saddam's day. But they are highly unlikely to make Iraq more stable or secure — or the world a safer place.

John Podhoretz has a nice article in the NYP this AM on this topic, but with a hopeful spin: the dems will beat this dead horse so much that they will negate any effect it might have on Election 2004.
