Comments: Daring The Dragons

History is never fully completed.

But, but . . . how can you say that? Didn't you get Fukuyama's message several years back? It's over with, man. We, the paragon of Democratic Capitalism, have triumphed! 9/11, the Iraq boondoggle, international economic weakness, coming oil shortages, global warming . . . they're all just minor potholes on the road to utopia. Jeeze, get with the program.

Hope the Jews will not be given special treatment by Kerry as Bush does.

The Jews gave Bush a standing ovation.

Nice piece except for your overt linkage of WWII movies with Abu Ghirab. It's unlikely that 21 year old soldier with the cigarette ever saw most of them.

lux, I think what Mr. Soto is talking about is the ease with which this war was started, which I'm sure the movies played a part in.

Another sad experience for America, and once again particularly sad because of the the trumped up cause added to our losses.

Some are not going to live my view that all should be trained to serve in National Guard Programs for defending this country here.
By the way, Jenna, Barbara, etc. are now readying to going over right?

It is much easier to honor the undemanding dead than to care for the unruly, difficult living.

Or, put another way by Michael Kinsley, it would be good if the Bush Administration cared more about the rights of the Born.
