Judging the War, From a Distance

A columnist in today's USA Today makes a persuasive case for not judging the success or failure of the war in Iraq until it can be done from the perspective of history, rather than current events. As he points out, most wars contain numerous fuck ups, on all sides. The victors are usually the ones who recognize their mistakes and adapt the best. Which makes me hope that the powers that be in the Pentagon have a better "mistake detector" than Dubya.
