Happy Fifth Anniversary, Iraq

Five years ago today, the most wonderful thing happened for the Iraqi people. They were finally given hope.


Hey, buds, I gots me somethin'!

Gabe Ledeen offers his thoughts on how this one event changed the nature of life in Iraq:
Saddam Hussein, his sons, and his supporters terrorized the people of Iraq and subjected them to violence and maltreatment without reason or restraint. His record of rape, torture, murder, and oppression is well documented but marginalized and deflected by critics who claim that the violence of the war overshadows Hussein’s heinous crimes. This argument does not, and cannot stand.
"This argument" remains the most morally barren I have ever heard, advanced by the most morally barren I have ever known.
