I really, really like Steyn, but reading his columns does make me mourn for Michael Kelly.
If only he hadn't died in Iraq!! What a gifted writer/author/raconteur he was.
"I understand why some dislike the idea, and fear the ramifications of, America as a liberator. But I do not understand why they do not see that anything is better than life with your face under the boot. And that any rescue of a people under the boot (be they Afghan, Kuwaiti or Iraqi) is something to be desired. Even if the rescue is less than perfectly realized. Even if the rescuer is a great, overmuscled, bossy, selfish oaf. Or would you, for yourself, choose the boot?" http://www.poynter.org/content/content_view.asp?id=28541
