[Congress Blog] The Big Question: Did the United States succeed in Iraq? - The ...: Our invasion and occupation of Iraq, as many of the commentators noted, was disaster from day one—as good an example as will be found of why shoot-first-and-ask-questions later "strategies" seldom work.

[The Pensive Quill] The Pensive Quill: Fred Halliday: Many in the sectarian leftist factions (and beyond) who marched against the impending Iraq war showed no qualms about their alignment with radical Muslim organisations, one that has since spiralled from a tactical cooperation to something far more elaborated. It is fascinating to see in the publications of leftist groups and commentators, for example, how history is being rewritten and the language of political argument adjusted to (as it were) accommodate this new accommodation …

[Antiwar.com Original] All Lies, All the Time by Justin Raimondo -- Antiwar.com: However what is more and more the reality, look at Jugoslavia or the Horn of Africa where they also bombed every historically grown structure out of the people, they leave only destruction (in Mocambique now piracy and almost complete lawlessness) and things to clean up for others.

[Lawyers, Guns & Money] Mistakes were made : Lawyers, Guns & Money: I don’t expect a guy with a Harvard degree to try to come off as Bruce Springsteen, but reflexively looking to social and politcal (and religious) elites for guidance, and then believing that such guidance would in any way be beneficial to the majority of people bespeaks a very sheltered and cosseted existence.
