Getting Iraq Wrong


"As a former denizen of Harvard, I’ve had to learn that a sense of reality doesn’t always flourish in elite institutions."

Michael Ignatieff then goes on to solidify this point with his own ongoing example of nonsense. Indeed, he 'gets Iraq wrong' today as he describes getting it wrong 5 years ago. I suggest that is everyone will just be patient and let the military do its job and the state department slouch towards doing its job, this will work out right. The Iraqi people are better off, we are better off, and our enemies are worse off in the long run if we keep chopping this wood. Remember the Barbary Pirates? If so, you probably only think of them in the context of an amusing ride at Disneyland. Such is the fate of Islamic despotic terror. If we continue to fight, this episode will end the same way.
