No comedic or even disturbing links today, just this thought.

It seems that the reluctant Bush supporters (Ed Koch, John McCain, Chris Hitchens, etc) all seem to have one thing in common. While they don't agree with Bush on most issues, they feel the Iraq war trumps everything else. This doesn't seem fair, since this particular war (never mind the peripheral war on terror, war on evil, war of civilizations) was single-handedly started by Bush. Following the oft-repeated logic of "not changing horses in mid-stream", what incentive is there to prevent any elected official from abusing power in order to guarantee their reelection? Just ask Nixon's ghost.

History will no doubt agree that this war was either ultimately an ugly necessity or a colossal mistake. Whether or not you personally think it was the right thing to do, consider the results we have accomplished up until today. Has it been worth it so far?
