It's Friday, so there must be a great, new essay by Victor Davis Hanson on NRO. Yep, "Dumb and Dumber." Excerpt:
We are presently watching the last hand in a long-drawn-out poker game. All the chips — the EU, NATO, the U.N., European anti-Americanism, French chauvinism, domestic opposition, the future of a democratic Iraq, the very nature of the Middle East, and of the war against terror itself — are now stacked on the table, up for grabs. As some of us once argued, it would have been far better and safer to go in last autumn; but war is full of irony, and so by forcing us to wait, our opponents have only upped the ante and may well lose all that they have so recklessly wagered.Posted by oscarjr at March 21, 2003 09:46 AM | TrackBack
