To talk about the war with neocon supporters. Andrew Sullivan rightly castigates Uncle Jimbo, Bill Kristol, and all the other actors in the theater of the absurd: “perhaps you could provide some convincing evidence that the U.S. can invade a country, topple its regime, leave immediately – and expect a

I was jarred when I opened up my computer this morning to see that Tony Snow had passed away. I’ll skip any discussion of his politics except to note what former President Bush said of him: “In this case it isn’t a press secretary. It isn’t a speech writer. It
