[lbo-talk] Conscription: The Neocon Word That Dare Not Speak Its Name

[andie nachgeborenen]

One good thing about the Iraq war: it destroyed the
nation and destabilized the region and we are not
getting out in our lifetimes (that's the bad things),
but (this is the good thing) it pretty much paralyzed
US imperialism in a way that even Vietnam could not.
We're not going to do this again. The eagle's wings
are entangled in net. Bush's dreams of grandeur have
backfired spectacularly: far from showing that the US
is onipotent, he has shown that it is crippled.
Unfortunately, Iran and N. Korea and everyone else is
going to get the bomb in the aftermath. But that will
only pin us down more throroughly, I am pleased to
say.
