2:12 PM Manny: Andrew Sullivan today:
"This is the reality that still haunts me with respect to 9/11. We assume that we have understood that event by now. And I once thought I did. It was a declaration of war and we had to fight back. We went to Afghanistan and removed the Taliban regime; we went to Iraq to prevent al Qaeda getting WMDs and to open up a democratic space where Islamism would falter. I supported both responses." I worry now, as we peer through the wreckage, that we were simply trying to make our enemy a conventional one, so that we could defeat them by conventional means."
ummmm, who's we, white man?
2:14 PM me: I'M SAYING!!!!!
Are you joking?
2:15 PM Only a fool or moron would have thought the iraq war a good thing or thought it had anything to do with al quaeda
Manny: There's a lot of folks trying to say this waaay back then, but I believe he called us "objectively pro-Sadaam"
2:16 PM me: ha ha ha ha
2:17 PM Manny: or as Richard Cohen put it (so wise): "anyone who doesn't want to go to war in Iraq is either crazy or stupid."
2:18 PM me: ah yes. They were so right.
