Portland’s Liberal Hawks are going to convene for a little drinking Monday evening at a local watering hole. Contact me if you’d like to come. Guest of honor is just back from Lebanon, and he’s alleged to be armed with stories about the Cedar Revolution.
Which reminds me of something pertinent to Iraq. Remember how the peaceniks used to say “yeah, that Saddam is a Bad Guy, but there’s lots of Bad Guys and we can’t invade ALL their countries, can we?”
It turns out the answer to that question has become apparent from recent happenings in Lebanon as well as Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Libya: we don’t have to invade ALL their countries, just enough so that they get the message. But thanks for asking.
Maybe the U.S. should try this on North Korea by invading Burma. Or vise-versa.
Or just off-shore the invading job to China and India. It would be good for those two countries to spend some quality time together on a joint project.
