I think you're right.  Lawrence might get credibility if he were to refute Rand 
and General William Odom *specifically*.  Anyone who thinks Iraq is a success 
isn't interested in reality.  I was surprised that the Rand piece said what 
I've been thinking, that Iran is scared.  Scared people do strange things.  All 
we do is make them more scared.

I've decided that Lawrence Helm just likes planning wars, like I like writing 
my novel -- been doing it for 30 years, doesn't matter if it ever gets finished 
-- it's something to do that he gets a kick out of.

And I've decided that it doesn't matter what we do about Iran -- we're going to 
fuck it up.  It's inevitable, because we (the Bush boys) are so stupid about 
the whole rest of the world that we think they all think like we think they 
think.  Think again, America. 

If so many people weren't killed and so much suffering involved, I'd be 
laughing.  Actually at this moment I am laughing.  I'm thinking what a great 
musical it would make.  We could get JL to write the score, call it "Bush's 
Faulty Intelligence".  

Ah well.
