from Josh Chafetz – TCS: Defense – In My Name

Warning: the following blog is rated CS for conservatism combined with smugness (and found through taking a peek at what Glenn Reynolds had to say today)


Yeah, buddy,  just as long as you’re not the one who has to live there and see thousands of your fellow citizens killed by those “whoops, sorry,  we didn’t mean to kill you civilians, but darn it , doggone it, shucks,  that’s war” missiles.  Read this smug analysis (or maybe you’re just tired of reading such after reading one too many of them –which is many cases is exactly ONE —  so skip over it if this is so):



So, to my friends in the anti-war movement: you were right. None of what has transpired so far has done so in your name, and none of what transpires in Iraq in the future will do so in your name. Not in your name. In mine. Josh Chafetz is a graduate student in politics at Merton College, Oxford, the co-founder of the Oxford Democracy Forum, and the co-editor of OxBlog.
