Considering that his e-mail addy is at the end of the piece and his name is in the URL, I think that's incompetence rather than malice.

The last time a Democrat Congress cut and ran from funding a Free People’s fight for their own Freedom came:

What price for the still Free to pay now in a new time of war, I wonder, with our own Freedom directly at stake right here at home..?

>>Notice the LAT didn’t even credit Jonah Goldberg for the piece .<<
I don’t know that name - is he not a regular at the LA Times? I thought maybe they were showing more sense than usual.
>>It’s worth at least pointing out a key difference between the potential genocide in Iraq and the heart-wrenching slaughters in Congo and Sudan: The latter aren’t our fault. But if genocide unfolds in Iraq after American troops depart, it would be hard to argue that we weren’t at least partly to blame. Yes, the mass murder would have more immediate authors than the United States of America, but we would undeniably be responsible, at least in part, for giving a green light to genocide. Obama offers precisely that green light in his proposed Iraq War De-escalation Act.<<
Utter crap from someone who's probably never even met a real life Iraqi before. So who are we trying to keep from committing genocide? Sunnis? Are they the bad guys? Because I've taken a hell of a lot of contact from Shi'ites and seen more than a few reports of their death squads slaughtering Sunni civilians. Or are we just going to keep playing police officer against both sides, and hope that Christ comes again soon to keep them from killing each other? That's about the only event that could change it all. The only progress being made is that the locals are getting sick of AQ. That doesn't do much to stop the "genocide."
135,000 U.S. troops in Iraq should not bear the responsibility of maintaining order in a dysfunctional Third World sh!t-hole just because the civilian leadership of their country didn't have the intelligence and/or the imagination to foresee what would happen there.
