Agreed.

I still think the odds that "Iraqi Freedom" will prove to have been a 
good thing for the world are only 60-40, and the odds that it will 
have proven to have been a good thing for the United States are only 
40-60.

Perhaps the most depressing sign are the actions of our dear friend 
Arik, who sees the fall of Saddam Hussein as an excuse to double the 
pace of west-bank settlement. I suspect that the PA's tilt toward 
Saddam was large enough to give the neocons in the Bush 
Administration an excuse to break every single promise about 
Palestine Bush has just made Blair...
