Giving Peace a Chance - The war critics were right - not in the way they expected. By Christopher Hitchens (Via Michael J. Totten)


That's what I like about Hitchens, he doesn't lord it over people. Heh.


So it turns out that all the slogans of the anti-war movement were right after all. And their demands were just. "No War on Iraq," they said—and there wasn't a war on Iraq. Indeed, there was barely a "war" at all. "No Blood for Oil," they cried, and the oil wealth of Iraq has been duly rescued from attempted sabotage with scarcely a drop spilled. Of the nine oil wells set ablaze by the few desperadoes who obeyed the order, only one is still burning and the rest have been capped and doused without casualties. "Stop the War" was the call. And the "war" is indeed stopping. That's not such a bad record. An earlier anti-war demand—"Give the Inspectors More Time"—was also very prescient and is also about to be fulfilled in exquisite detail.[...]

OT, but have you seen this (from Andrew Sullivan's page)http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,83821,00.html

I have, and they've been mentioning it on the radio, as well. I hesitated to post about it because we've seen so many of these reports in recent days that didn't turn out to be anything...I'm gunshy!


Damn amazing if it turns out to be as important as the hype makes it sound.


/fingers crossed (Just so the next time someone asks "have you found them yet," Brooks, etal. can say, "YES!")
