I guess it was the post-script about the evils of the Bush administration that triggered my ironic sense. Since I've never called the Bush administration evil, I can just differ with them on the practicality of regime change; not the morality of it. The Fool's posting of this article makes them sound, at worst, like naive do-goodders. ;-) Its ironic that he undercuts his own point, Bush and company are evil; even as he buttressed the argument that Iraq is a lot more difficult than the optimistic hard liners could ever believe. What I find troubling is that there will, in all probability, not be a good plus-delta discussion on Iraq. I was thinking about doing a yes-but to Ritu's post (hi Ritu) on Culture but as someone else point out, it's too monocultural a place for that discussion to take place.
