I'm surprised that no one has commented on this article, that was supposed to be published in December's Commentary . It may be the best piece of researched journalism I've seen in close to thirty years. For some reason, (perhaps Bush's speech yesterday?), it was pushed up. Well the dems certainly didn't like it: http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/archives/individual/2005_11/007530.php But they are getting answered back and there is the difference: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/blog/2005/11/the_case_for_war.html
