Andy: How you can compare this to Bush's virtually unilateral invasion
performed in a virtual vacuum is beyond me. Defending his war is like
insisting that a square peg fit in a round hole. I don't quite see what
the motivation is.
Eric: My interest was looking at the philosophical questions raised by
Judt's piece in the New York Review of Books (that conservative rag)
using all possible cases.
Remember that Judt's article begins by stating, "Those of us who opposed
America's invasion of Iraq from the outset can take no comfort from its
catastrophic consequences. On the contrary: we should now be asking
ourselves some decidedly uncomfortable questions." I wanted to pursue
those questions, not justify Bush.
