Adiplomatic compromise would at best postpone such a reckoning. Yet when the dust of an attack cleared, the outcome might feel singularly unsatisfying. The U.S. would be lucky if it could destroy some of Iraq's lethal weaponry while keeping the international coalition signed on to continued sanctions. But Saddam and all the problems Iraq raises would still be with us. "We face a new cold war in the gulf," says Middle East expert Anthony Cordesman.

When the scandal broke and rapidly attracted O.J.-like levels of media attention, Newt, Trent and the other GOP power players smugly believed they could just sit back and let the President destroy himself.

Widely regarded as our First Feminist, she spent last week singing Tammy Wynette's tune on all the morning soft-news shows, hoping to convince us that the only problem Bill has is the right-wing conspiracy to destroy him. Someone needs to tell this woman that the first time a wife stands up for an allegedly adulterous husband, everyone thinks she's a saint. The second or third time, though, she begins to look disturbingly complicit...
