Nothing today is more serious [...] This international norm cannot be violated without consequences,” said Rumsfeld, err, Kerry. This led to what somebody, or some algorithm, selected as the top reader comment: The reader comments were amazing. They were overwhelmingly against the war, a bit to my surprise. There were almost no non-ad-hominem-based pro-war comments (see the end of this post for the one I found). I will post some representative comments below: The above makes most sense to me, to be honest. Of all the dozens of substantive comments I saw, only one was pro-war, although others were (partisanly) "anti-anti-war", attacking "Tea Party" members and attacking Republicans, the relevance of which I cannot determine.
