THERAPY BY SATIRE, I SUPPOSE

You're wavering. I can see it. You have held a principled opposition to this war from the day Bush brought it to the fore of his agenda (shortly after his "Fuck Saddam, we're taking him out!" outburst in early 02). But you saw those pictures of the statues coming down. The small hordes of Iraqis cheering the arrival of US troops into the Baghdad. And maybe, just maybe, the thought crossed your mind: "what if these neocon hawks are really on to something here?". Will you turn your back on the pacifism of your youth? Your belief in international consensus and the relevance of the United Nations? Will you embrace Pax Americana wholeheartedly, without looking back?

Well, naive children, before you walk that plank, be sure to read Digby's mock conversion first. I love his use of the JFK quote, I haven't laughed that much in a long while, hehehe.
