I'm talking about the subset of those who counseled against the engagement in Iraq who are neither one-percenters nor Bush-lied'ers. That subset includes Euterpe and me and lots of others, as I have tried to explain but you are disinclined to recognize.

What you are saying then is that in spite of all evidence pointing to Saddam having WMD, you don't believe we should have gone in.

Very well. That is a POV. But not one that those of us on the other side were willing to live with. Arguing about it now is a waste of time.

I have been posting both sides of the same problem now that we have with Iran. I just put up Barnett's latest column on that.

Because Iraq turned out to be a mistake, we probably won't go in to Iran. I hope we don't live to regret it. That again is a "one percent" situation. The consequences of being wrong would be unbelievably horrible.
