> For the anti-WMB crowd,

phew. good thing we aren't interested in the pro-WBM crowd. Doug hates Wolfie.

I was going to give WMB a rest but I was flabbergasted by this talk he gave at Harvard. I've been listening at work. He says it flat out, even when he has opportunities to say he's for something else, he's arguing *for* Liberalism. It's especially wild that he says that u.s. Foreign policy has zippo to do with "questions about Liberalism in the u.s."

Here's my transcription of his words, which start at 21:02

"Is there anyone around who doesn't think Iraq a bad idea? Anybody except Rumsfield and those guys who think Iraq was a good idea. But. But. If we pulled out of Iraq tomorrow, if we somehow made Iraq all better, whatever that means, it would not make America a more equal society. That's an important issue. But it has nothing whatsoever to do with the fundamental questions about Liberalism in the u.s."

OK. Now I rest my case. :)
