…e need money, a lot if it, and fast. The men who gave us Afghanistan, then Iraq, are now the same men who are trying to get us out of Iraq so that we can gamble in Afghanistan with larger stakes. It’s all a bit strange and surreal. Dostoevsky’s narrator has a keen nose for gambling. He could smell when someone was about to lose their shirt.

“Evil,” a Cautionary Tale For Iran

…ere in six long years (admittedly we hadn’t done much better before then). Iraq was invaded, dismantled, and, unlike Humpty Dumpty, not put back together again. But Iran provides the most important cautionary tale when it comes to the language of evil in modern politics; it is that nation’s president that Hannity so recklessly proposes “taking out.” From the Iranian perspective, then, the needs of the moment are clear enough.

Priests in Glass Houses Shouldn’t Throw Wafers

…who said in his Easter message last year that “nothing positive comes from Iraq.” Benedict’s predecessor Pope John Paul II strongly opposed the Iraq war even before it began. Wouldn’t those who cast their vote for McCain be just as guilty of supporting evil in the world?
