Glenn Reynolds is right: it’s ridiculous to suggest that the situation in Iraq is a “quagmire” like Vietnam. Why, if it were truly a quagmire, we’d start resorting to counting dead enemy bodies as a measure of progress. Oh, wait …
And if it were like Vietnam, we’d face a situation where more than 40% of Iraqis actually approved of attacks on our troops, and only a tiny fraction thought our presence was helping improve their security, wouldn’t we? Oh, wait …
Let’s face it. The facts aren’t anti-war. They’re just on the other side. Patriotic anti-idiotarians will ignore them. After all, Michael Moore is fat, isn’t he?
