But, as I warned beforehand, I suspect history will judge that decision based principally upon whether reconstruction succeeds or fails. If it fails--and Iraq and the region are plunged into chaos--as current trends threaten, then it will be hard for anyone to justify the war.

Well, Carranza2, from your post it's clear that Pollack didn't have you in mind when he said; "If it fails--and Iraq and the region are plunged into chaos--as current trends threaten, then it will be hard for anyone to justify the war."

I'm sure you'll find it easy to justify the war even if it all turns to shit. I note with interest that your first line of defense against the counter logic of a man you say is "one of the best, in [your] book," is to question his motives. You say his change in position might be "Fodder for a job with Kerry? Could be." Why attack the person when it's the accuracy of his logic that's important?

I wonder if your post reveals the difference between an American that wants to be right as opposed to one that strives to understand the right thing for America.
