The Real Benny Shapiro

While Benjamin Shapiro rants and raves about people who DARE question his policy preferences, it is good for us to examine those preferences, no?

Here he is in 2005:

 

Did Iraq pose an immediate threat to our nation? Perhaps not. But toppling Saddam Hussein and democratizing Iraq prevent his future ascendance and end his material support for future threats globally. The same principle holds true for Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan and others: Pre-emption is the chief weapon of a global empire. No one said empire was easy, but it is right and good, both for Americans and for the world.

As is Benny's right, he never put on the uniform to implement his "principle."
