Depends on the post.  Yours is based on the mistaken assumption that Larry's
words quoted here  refer to Iraq.  As they don't, why should I read on?

Do you not read posts to the end?  Did I not say nuff already?  Was I
talking to somebody else?  In any event, the comparison to Vietnam was
neither brilliant nor original such that it deserves a reprimand from
mother.  The Vietnam comparison is in fact widely debated and applied.  Most
agree the comparison does not yet fit completely.  I will, however, take
credit for the intellectual bling of using a Vietnam era song in what is
arguably a potentially fitting context.

My apologies as well to these Kramer and Simmons chaps, wherever they might
be, although I suspect they are not the first to euphemize the Iraq mess.
Not knowing what to call it begs the question, what are we fightin' for
(don't ask me, I don't give a damn, next stop is (you got it) Fallujah-nam
...)  Okay, okay, I got work to do,  have to grab this tail and make it stop
wagging the dog ...  Hey, Wag the Dog, wasn't Clinton accused of ...
Really, nuff already.

JL has unintentionally posted an exchange between Larry Kramer and Lance
Simmons
that took place on another list, probably THEORIA, to this list. Larry
Kramer is
not subscribed to lit-ideas (unless he's remained silent since its
creation).
Therefore, responses to what he (or Lance Simmons) said on another list are
pointless.
