These postwar arguments not only suggest a disregard for the public. They also give the pro-war lobby more credit than it deserves.

I think he's right about the second part. The reason there was such a drumbeat wasn't propaganda, IMO. If not for the last-gasp try to persuade France and Germany, the invasion would have been a done deal and there wouldn't have been occasion for the drumbeat.

As for the first part, well, my only problem with the "Stupid" column posted the other day was that the author applied it to only one side. <g>
