John Fund takes a look at hypocrisy and short Hollywood memories.

"What if Saddam fails to comply and we fail to act, or we take some ambiguous third route which gives him yet more opportunities to develop this program of weapons of mass destruction? . . . Well, he will conclude that the international community has lost its will. He will then conclude that he can go right on and do more to rebuild an arsenal of devastating destruction. And someday, some way, I guarantee you he'll use the arsenal." -- President Bill Clinton on Iraq in 1998.

"I think it's appropriate for the international community in situations like this to intervene. I am in favor of an intervention." -- Antiwar activist Mike Farrell, in favor of the war in Kosovo in 1999.

"Once over there, I felt extremely patriotic. Here are these people, from 18-year-olds to military veterans, enduring real duress for the cause of peace. I don't ever want to play for a regular audience again, only military folks who are starving for music." -- Sheryl Crow, commenting to the San Francisco Chronicle about her joy in supporting our war effort in Bosnia.
