World War XXVI: Throw Iraqis Under The Bus

Ah, I see that some Bush apologists are finally letting their pretense that the Iraq war was going to produce a nice pro-American pro-Israeli liberal democracy fade away into more of a “cane the wogs” approach. Kind of refreshing, albeit in a “smugness in the face of death and ruined lives and the utter waste of a trillion dollars” kind of way. You see, people just pick their underlying social arrangements sort of like picking a shirt out the closet, so if Iraqis don’t choose to create a nice liberal polity out of the stateless chaos we’ve created, well, don’t look at me, I didn’t do it! I seem to remember that the grown-ups were supposed to be in charge–whatever happened to that?
