But to think that sanity can be spread via violence is a colossal and tragic error.

Well, yes, but I don't think that was the idea in Iraq. I think the idea was that an obstacle to sanity could be removed by violence, and that once that obstacle was removed there would be a better chance for sanity.

I didn't think that would work, at the time, and said so. I wish I'd been wrong.
