George F. Will: America-Hating, Terrorist-Coddling Liberal

13 Sep

It’s official, kids. The war in Iraq has shoved our political discourse straight through the looking glass. How do I know this? Because George Will is actually sounding sane:

What “forced” America to go to war in 2003 – the “gathering danger” of weapons of mass destruction – was fictitious. That is one reason this war will not be fought, at least not by Americans, to the bitter end. The end of the war will, however, be bitter for Americans, partly because the president’s decision to visit Iraq without visiting its capital confirmed the flimsiness of the fallback rationale for the war – the creation of a unified, pluralist Iraq.

I understand that having all that blood on one’s hands must be exceptionally sticky and uncomfortable, which is why so many of the loudest cheerleaders for this pointless, stupid war are now speaking out against it. But do they really think a few critical editorials – four and a half years too late – are going to buy their way out of Hell?
