I remain, however, very disturbed by the American triumphalism of the moment, the kind of mood in which the leadership just can't wait to get into another war

I don't sense that the mood is particularly triumphant, nor is Iraq regarded as another war, but a continuation of the war that began on September 11th. That war came out of Arabia and cannot be finished in Afghanistan. Iraq is the opportunity, as frank said on this thread.

You might enjoy "Frazz" today, John. unitedmedia.com

As for the American triumphalism, it tends to be self correcting, I just hope the overreaching that leads to the inevitable correction isn't too costly, in either human or economic terms. Personally, I hold with tekboy's analysis in #reply-17232320 . People are winging it, local smug certitude to the contrary not withstanding.
