Comment: If there is anybody who has written more sensibly and eloquently about The Bush War than Chris Dickey, I have not read her or him yet. He saw early on where this thing was going, tried to warn us about the "insider" expat Iraquis who were feeding the abysmal maw of our current administration's insatiable desire for SaddamQuest with misguidance and self-serving fabrications. If only Bush's White House and his Pentagon had been subtle readers of reality instead of glassy-eyed believers in Cultural Empire, we would still have tens of thousands of productive men and women ready to defend us in real national emergencies or to help us work out real economic, infrastructural, and other social problems. Instead, we have many more war-profiteers and many more human casualties. All for a pre-emptive war when there was nothing to pre-empt. Chris Dickey's been a prophet, a clear voice in a murky and stinking swamp of somebody's venality, somebody's wanton ambitions.
