Mini Rant

To reiterate, I'm not going to reconstruct, blow-by-blow, how the Iraq war is going. For that, please check out The Agonist, who is doing an amazing job of sorting and relaying news in almost-real time. The other links to the right, under the 'iraq war' heading, can be quite useful for getting a rough idea of how things are evolving, too.

I will also try to avoid shoving news about how the war isn't going well in your face as a sort of "told you so." Nor will I be throwing up casualty estimates whenever a bomb goes astray or when it comes out that we're killing civilians, even if by accident. Clearly, I think, things have not been going as planned, but that doesn't embolden me to proclaim, for the umpteenth time, that this war is wrong, immoral, and illegal. We could be partying down in Baghdad, dancing with liberated Iraqis right now and I still would hold the same viewpoint about this war.

This adminstration has led us down a dark, ominous tunnel. I don't know how things will turn out, but neither do the chattering heads in the media, or those resurrected military analysts who keep us oh-so-informed about the tactics our leaders are employing to beat back the evil Iraqi forces.
