Yesterday, I had a conversation with a friend who's been on the left for about 55 years. He suggested that Bush's war may actually be against the collective interests of the ruling class, the product of a small clique within that class.
I suggested instead that it was an example of playing high-stakes poker: if the Bushwackers win (e.g., Iraq doesn't turn into a major quagmire) it could be a big victory for them and for their class -- but that the odds against that result were quite steep.
what do people think?

It just shows you that capitalists aren't risk-takers.
