Robert Wright has a good article in Slate: “What you should and shouldn’t worry about as we go to war.” Says Wright, “Brace yourself for a round of I-told-you-so’s from Iraq hawks. And blame it partly on Iraq doves. In trying to head off war, some doves have warned of nightmarish consequences that are in fact not all that likely, thus setting the stage for a postwar public relations triumph by hawks.”
He’s right. Yeah. I’ll feel smarter next week for reading his piece. But tonight I don’t care that much about feeling smart. I just feel sad. The war has started. No, I don’t even want to talk about it.
