lurqer,

My compliments. That was exceptionally well done. The formatting fooled me. :)

The human race hasn't had a totally original thought in...... what, 10,000 years? <g>

The Vanishing Case for War

nybooks.com

<<...The invasion and conquest of Iraq by the United States last spring was the result of what is probably the least ambiguous case of the misreading of secret intelligence information in American history. Whether it is even possible that a misreading so profound could yet be in some sense "a mistake" is a question to which I shall return. Going to war was not something we were forced to do and it certainly was not something we were asked to do. It was something we elected to do for reasons that have still not been fully explained...>>

Very Good.
