From the link:
The EU, the U.N., NATO, the European street, the American Left, and a host of others, by failing to understand the post 9/11 world and its requirement to neutralize Saddam Hussein, have unnecessarily put their perceived wisdom, prestige, and influence in jeopardy — and with the liberation of Iraq they all are going to lose big time.

Notice that not only is this wrong, it was an embarassingly stupid thing to write at the time, and deliberately dishonestly tries to confuse the reader about that fact that at least one UN weapons inspector was a former US marine. He is subtly playing this heartland heroes vs French elitists thing.

I posted this in the dead thread, but it's more fitting here, so what the hell, a repeat:
FAIR FIGHT? [Cliff May]
In a conventional war, if one side has tanks, fighter jets, submarines and similar weapons, while the other side does not, who wins? The answer is obvious.
In an unconventional war, if one side has suicide bombers, license to kidnap, torture and violate the laws of war while the other side must refrain from deploying such weapons and abide by all the rules, who wins? The answer, I'm afraid, may be equally obvious.
So because this is an "unconventional war", the fact that we have vastly superior weapons is irrelevant, and this is an unfair fight? I mean, we knew they were going to have to spin this defeat anyway they could, but this is ridiculous.

Now the battlefield, Thucydides's harsh schoolmaster, will adjudicate what talk cannot. The only question remaining is not the ultimate verdict, but to what degree the past failure of allies to support the United States emboldened Saddam Hussein, cost the American military tactical surprise, complicated logistics, and needlessly raised casualties.
Somebody make that fool sit down and read, say, "Antigone," again.
Or "Oedipus Rex." Either one would be sufficient to educate him in the problem of hubris.

If we're going to have an "honest debate," let's start with a defense of that quote from Hanson.
Leaving aside the fact that the US most certainly is engaging in all those crimes or better versions of them, you may not have picked up on what sounds like May arguing for American adoption of these practices, or rather cessation of media and popular disapproval.

Debate and objectivity are nowadays dirty words found only on the lips of morally dirty people, like warmongers, racists and Holocaust deniers. The fact of the matter is that objectivity is a negative concept at best pointing to the far more useful admonition that ideology not overtake verifiability and relevance, and that debate is meaninglessly impossible where there is not considerable overlap of presuppositions.

Hanson is a good historian, but his falsifications over Iraq cast his historical analysis of Greek combat in A VERY POOR light. If he can be so effing wrong about war today what credibility as a histroian does he now have? He's lost a huge amount of cred with other historians, even British military historians like Lawrence Freedman and John Keegan who tentatively supported, or enthusiatically supported the war. Freedman (wrote Bliar's Chigaco Address) recently reamed the fuck out of Bush. VDH really fucked up!

My coffee pot broke and I haven't gone to the store to replace it. I've been drinking tea all day but it's just not the same.
I've got a couple of camp coffee pots but they are in (I think) in a storage shed that is messy enough that I don't want to dig through them now. I remembered how to make cowboy coffee, and remember liking it when I drank it over a campfire. So, I took a small pan of water, brought it to a boil, dumped in a couple of scoops of coffee in it, and let it come to a foam a couple of times by removing and returning the pan to the heat. I let it stand a couple of minutes, poured it though a melita filter.
It's not bad, much better then drip coffee, that came out of the broken coffee pot.

SIPACAPA, Guatemala (Reuters) - A Mayan protester lost his life trying to stop Guatemala's first 21st century gold mine from opening last year, and resistance may yet upset miners' dreams of a new gold belt in the troubled nation.
Glamis Gold says its Marlin Mine, which opened in December in the arid western Guatemalan highlands, will be the Nevada-based company's largest and most profitable asset. The mine is set to produce an average of 250,000 ounces of gold and 3.8 million ounces of silver annually for the next 10 years.
The company sees Marlin generating some $860 million worth of gold in its lifetime. It would like the mine to be just the beginning of its Guatemala operations, with further exploration nearby and elsewhere in the country leading to more mines.

Kurt Vonnegut's enjoyably off-the-wall novel "Slapstick", set in a future in which the USA has devolved back into independent states, features a hilarious religious cult called "The Church of the Kidnapped Jesus".
Their basic tenet is that Jesus has been kidnapped by the forces of evil, and members are obliged to be constantly on the lookout for Him.
You can recognize a church member because they are constantly darting their eyes from side to side while they're talking to you, hoping to spot Jesus.
Worth a read, if you haven't.

Shooting fish in a barrel.
Hanson is on the wrong side of history.
The moral high ground is what wins fighting terror, without it you undermine all efforts.
For Hanson to wax poetic of patent war crimes is par for the course with him,
"Now watch this drivel!"
It's the BK Kirkuk concessions all over again, King Faisal's days reborn after the Ottoman downfall. VD ignores the past and claims to be an expert of it.

Yeah, I was at Blockbuster last night renting "Grease" for my 12-year old cousin (I was babysitting and we had a blast), and I noticed that out of all the movies they had, the only one sold out was "Jarhead." Hardly a day goes by here that I don't see a sign welcoming home or saying good-bye to some poor kid, posted outside a fast food joint or the corner quickie mart.

I was wrong about Iraq, but that won't stop me from making exactly the same arguments about Iran.
Also, in one of his recent posts, Sullivan says he had problems with Bush pre 9/11, about fiscal policy and gay rights. I'm still waiting for him to explain exactly what problems he had with Bush's fiscal policy. In the 8 months between Bush's inauguration and 9/11, there wasn't even a budget proposal. There were the tax cuts ... which Sullivan supported and continues to support. So what exactly about Bush's fiscal policy did Sullivan find troubling?

There are some "dewyerdifier" plugins for the gimp. What I do remember if the terminals pop up, just shrink them and go on with your business. If you close them, you'll kill some of the necessary back end function libraries (.dll's for the windows crowd) and the gimp dies.
remember if you see terminals shrink and don't close.

"I'm optimistic that the leadership recognizes that sectarian violence will undermine the capacity for them to self-govern," Bush said after a defense briefing at the White House. "I believe we'll have a unity government in place that will help move the process forward."
I thought we HAD a government in place over there. What's the hold-up?

To think we claim the humanities from Greco tradition and he tries to wear that as a badge of sophistry for empirical justification, irony abounds.
Empires and empiricism in the same breath.
The model of Greek culture was a failed empire, that flourished under the banner of trade, engagement, discourse. Looking back to the days they mark this the high point, but in reality the effect of these words and thoughts sewn into philosophy made greater empire than any ambition of their time or the romans who followed...
That's where Hanson is so confused, it was an empire of inspried ideas, and he fails to grasp the said abundant effect and instead tries to instill new rigor to another school of ideaology already done in.

Remember the PNAC/AEI line of reason, that with superior technology the war would be won because the ideas behind it were righteously justified... Hanson's premise was flawed and until he admits that he never will see forest for the trees. Keep shifting goalposts, this will be a dual withdrawal, blame the loss on unconventional war there and on the critics and media here... this is focus group testing plausible deniability.

The Roman government perverted Jesus to fit their political agenda. Your Church Fathers were all Pagans until one day they went to work and were told that they had to be Christians now.
Papists=Satan
The RCC is the worlds largest landowner, they spread lies about HIV all over Africa and their Priests are pedophiles.
I sincerely pray for a class action suit which will bankrupt the RCC, the most evil institution on earth.
Worshipping the Pope is utter blasphemy.

Granted yours was noting the same irony. Saying Iraq is a democracy and free doesn't make it so.
Any society clings to standards and perceived norms. Iraq had a unitary hedge that will no longer serve insular purpose and the real democracy we see will be an ugly one, a direct democracy, rule by mob and gunfire.

"blame the loss on unconventional war there and on the critics and media here... "
You could see this coming 2 years ago. If we lose, say we were stabbed in the back.
Yet had they won in the timeframe they sold us, they would have been in and out before most of today's "critics" found their voice. And with the war won, examining the bogus reasons for it would have been perceived as churlish nitpicking. That is the elixir that Ken "Cakewalk" Adelman and the boys at OSP sold the White House.
Now, of course, they are coming down with amnesia one by one.
