When the Washington Post’s Tom Toles is good, he’s great.
“As long as rulers are above the law,
citizens have the same type of freedom
that slaves had on days
when their masters chose not to beat them.”

Jim, I was just informed this morning on television by one of those victorious people in a khaki costume posted in Iraq that “We left it better than we found it.”
And the person who was interviewing him shouted, “BULLSHIT!” — right?
Right???
Does the “entra” in the wonderful “entraxit” of his spot-on cartoon mean “entranced”.
Dirk, I think you are hitting on something there. Those people in D.C. and their hypnotized minions are certainly in an alternate reality.
I suppose the War Party is shouting “On to Tehran!”
Yes – but not for themselves, of course. They have to stay here on the Northeast Corridor to continue writing opeds for big newspapers and gas-bagging on the Lehrer Newshour.
The War Party wants the lesser folks to do the fighting…
But this Teheran refrain has been periodic since 2003. Here’s a link to a piece I wrote in Oct. 2003 on ‘The Folly of Attacking Iran’..

I was struck by the name of the new “mission”: Operation New Dawn.
Damn. They always said that we won the Cold War. I have my doubts; with a mission name like that it sounds as if the Commies succeeded in taking over the U.S. government. Well, the dumber Commies anyway.
Operation New Damn sounds a lot better than Operation Same Crap.
