You think Iraq's a quagmire? Lincoln's ''new birth of freedom'' bogged down into a centurylong quagmire of segregation, denial of civil rights, lynchings. Does that mean the Civil War wasn't worth fighting? That, as Al Gore and other excitable types would say, Abe W. Lincoln lied to us?

I heard this quoted on Bill Bennett's radio program this morning. I think it was when he was talking to Lucianne Goldberg. It is an excellent point to use against the "War is not the Answer" crowd.
