I also noticed Matlock putting Iraq in the late 40s Stalin context. It'll be interesting to see how the neocons attack that one. I assume a Reagan appointee as ambassador to the Evil Empire is beyond the usual ad hominem appeaser attacks, but who knows? Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that. I am in agreement with Pollack and Matlock that if we go into Iraq, better be prepared for the long haul and expect something more like postwar Japan or Korea than a quick and easy CIA government installation. The latter kind of constructions have a pretty lame track record in general, from all the post-WWII history I know of. The Times has some other good and topical articles from tomorrow's paper up early, which I'll post in a minute.
