It is not the clear-sighted who rule the world. Great achievements are accomplished in a blessed, warm fog.
Joseph Conrad
As the feeds burn into the bunker this morning, I'm wracked with confusion about what the future holds for Iraq. On the one hand you have a great hew and cry for a staggered withdrawal of troops. In a distant corner you have a hawkish cry for more troops. There seems to be a movement to not only increase the occupational force, but to become more aggressive.
Occupations, historically, almost always fail. This is a historic truth. Provocative action will be received with even more violence.
