IMHO, the real question is why didn't we help split Iraq when it could have been done peacefully? Now it will be done violently, but done non-the-less. For whatever reasons, the political pundit class has nearly 100% been against splitting the country. I don't get it. Pissing up wind is a stupid pass time....

Joy Reid say today: "of course there was going to be revenge. I figured that out when we went in, in Florida, just sitting over a type writer." Chris Matthews last column for the SF Chronicle. Hail and farewell Chris Matthews Published 4:00 am, Sunday, September 1, 2002 2002-09-01 04:00:00 PDT Washington -- For 15 years, I have been among the grand and lucky few to write a newspaper column. ...I remember Sen. Ed Muskie the night he won his last election back in 1976. He'd had some vodka, which I sensed he'd drunk fast -- like a Russian against the winter. He said: "The only reason to be in politics is to be out there all alone and then be proven right." That goes for good columnists, too. So I'll say it: I hate this war that's coming in Iraq. I don't think we'll be proud of it. Oppose this war because it will create a millennium of hatred and the suicidal terrorism that comes with it. You talk about Bush trying to avenge his father. What about the tens of millions of Arab sons who will want to finish a fight we start next spring in Baghdad? Well, that's it for now. You know where I stand. sfgate.com
