It was a loaded question though, "How will leaving Saddam in power promote peace and justice in Iraq?"
There's only one answer to that question. The Iraqi knew it, the host knew it, and the "little girl" knew it. She refused to answer because it would have framed the debate to the opposing viewpoint, and it ignores the concerns of a majority of peaceniks--empire, oil, innocents dying because of our military action, retaliatory attacks by Al-Quada, innocents turned into martyres (sp?), the possibility that this could grow into a larger "Islam v. West" war if something goes wrong.......etc etc etc.
She started to mention some of that, but it was "ground already covered." Framing the debate.
Always nice to hear someone who talks like that get pounced on though.
Reminds me of Brain Candy....

"You'd agree that Colombus is the capital of Ohio, right?"
"Well, yeah, ofcourse."
