It Is What It Is
Reader comment on item: Tempering Ambitions [in Iraq]

Submitted by Jeffrey Bradley (United States), Nov 12, 2006 at 23:00

Right on point, as usual! We're squandering our victory in the details, instead of letting Iraqis work out their problems for themselves. Also, I saw you recently on the History Channel adding commentary to world-conspiracist theories, cabals and creeping 'corporate fascism.'

We appreciate your adding the voice of reason to whatever genre you take on. And, thank you as always for keeping us informed.
