One of the highlights of today's war coverage was this tidbit:

As the Security Council argued bitterly over whether to go to war with Iraq, the government of Saddam Hussein said today that it had agreed "in principle" to begin destroying ballistic missiles judged illegal because their range exceeds limits imposed after the Persian Gulf war.

What I found interesting about it was the whole 'in principle' part. I'm not totally sure, but what I think that means is that while Saddam agrees it's probably a good idea to destroy his missiles, he's not quite sure he's ready to do it just yet. And by 'not just yet', he may mean 'never'. Sneaky, eh?

Personally, I tend to agree with a lot of things 'in theory', but I've never agreed with something 'in principle' before. I think now might be a good time to start.

So as of this moment, I agree - in principle - with the following:

• I should eat fewer fried cheese wontons.
• I should dress better on casual Friday.
• That show about finding the hottest person in the US is stupid and shouldn't be watched.
• Struts is the de facto - and therefore best - MVC servlet framework.
• Libby's secret chocolate stash in the freezer should only be for her.

Huh, that was easy.
