Good essay. Good comments.
(Sample of one comment - "Rather than focusing 20/20 hindsight on the events of 2002-4, we should be focusing that hindsight on the events of 1938-41, and learning from history. I believe our President and his adminstration - for all their real warts and the ones the media have imagined - have done this. That’s why I support them. And that’s why I think we need to quit carping about cargo containers, grousing over wartime minutiae like Gitmo and Abu Ghraib, second-guessing military decisions without all the facts and whining on a daily basis about the lowest casualty rate in any significant armed conflict of this or any other century. Call me a flagwaver if you like, but you don’t win a war by opening your every strategy and tactic to close public scrutiny. And if you insist on that, I submit that you’re going to be a very frustrated wartime spectator."
