Cormac Ignatieff's "The Road." The essay is called "Getting Iraq Wrong." And baby, if Michael Ignatieff got Iraq wrong, I don't want him to be right! Because this essay can MAKE LEMONADE IN YOUR MIND.
This post was deleted for the following reason: A ranty ironic-but-no-really huffpo editorial about someone else's bad essay? Where's the part of this post that would go anything but badly? -- cortex

"A sense of reality is not just a sense of the world as it is, but as it might be. Like great artists, great politicians see possibilities others cannot and then seek to turn them into realities. . ."
Winston Churchill is Leonardo daVinci. George W. Bush is Thomas Kinkade. Michael Ignatieff basically helped us buy a half-trillion dollars' worth of Thomas Kinkade paintings. Thanks.

True enough ibmcginty, but this is a pretty entertaining. I never did get around to reading the original essay though, guess now I should.
This is especially baffling:
"Resisting the popular isn't easy, because resisting the popular isn't always wise. . . ."

You anti-war people have got to admit, Ignatieff has you nailed. You dumb-asses who were right about everything for the wrong reasons, instead of wrong about everything for the right reasons. You lose.

Before this post is deleted, I'd just like to say that I don't like fish.
