Iraq War
In a February 2003 article in Slate[3], Noah described his initial opposition to the Iraq War and his conversion to the pro-war position by Colin Powell's February 3 speech to the United Nations. After many of Powell's statements were proven false, Noah changed his mind about the war, praising those who had remained steadfastly against it in an August 2004 column.[4]
