But you can think that the toll in American lives would have been worth it in some circumstances, and yet think that the current situation is a clusterfuck. One question now is, how do we make the best of a lousy situation? Pretending that Baghdad is just like Detroit is probably not the best way to go.

People pay Spanky for his political analysis and include him in conferecne calls to plan policy. Contrast- i think I'm the only one who posts comments on your blog. Maybe you should spend a bit more time reading his stuff and thinking why he might be right.
