Andrew Sullivan with some encouraging words - THE PASSION OF IRAQ: Iraq has been a free country for a single year after decades of fascism, mass murder, communal paranoia, hysteria, random violence, and economic collapse. Did we expect the place to become Toledo overnight? The closer we get to transferring power, the more the extremist factions need to prevent a peaceful transition and establish their own power bases for the next phase. The closer we get to a self-governing Arab state, the more terrified Iran, Syria, Hezbollah, Hamas and the rest will be that their alternatives - theocratic fascism and medieval economics - will look pathetic in comparison. There are millions of people in Iraq who need us now more than ever. Their future and our future are entwined. Which is why we have to keep our nerve, put down these insurrections with focussed ferocity, and move relentlessly toward self-rule. It may be dark this Friday, but Christians are told that a new day will dawn. Not in three days. But in time. If we keep our nerve.

he is crossing the line more often. Has stated on his show a few weeks ago against the invasion of Iraq. continues to direct questions (however more of a statement) that wmd were not there . His guests are more and more liberal vs conservative. I only flip over to him now and then. I wonder if he thinks if may get him a bigger audience. Maybe even get him something in Kerry adm. Let's face it Chris is not a heavy hitter in drawing a cable audience.
