We've got an absurdity on its face
Abiola at Foreign Dispatches linked to Kurt Anderson's essay on the Iraqi Elections, the substance of which is
Each of us has a Hobbesian choice concerning Iraq; either we hope for the vindication of Bush's risky, very possibly reckless policy, or we are in a de-facto alliance with the killers of American soldiers and Iraqi civilians. We can be angry with Bush for bringing us to this nasty ethical crossroads, but here we are nonetheless.
That is the STOOOPITEST description of the situation I have ever seen. And I'm a New Yorker too.
We are not hoping for vindication of Bush's policy, but for recovery from it. The goal is to minimize the damage. That "de-facto alliance" crap is for minds that can't handle more that two options at a time.
