The New York Times (or their predecessors) said the same things about America in the 1770s. The revolution will fail. America can't win. It's a quagmire. George W. is a failure. The new nation cannot survive. The people are too dumb to govern themselves. The proposed US Constitution is flawed. Has built-in inconsistencies. It'll never work.

America will never be free. At least, it won't if the NYT and their freedom-hating cohorts have anything to say about it. And neither will Iraq. The NYT will go down fighting to make sure of it.

The NYT will go down fighting to make sure of it.

Perhaps figuratively, but never literally as they're too much the pacifist type. I'd like to know who gave the dispiriting title to this OpEd column, the Times or the author. I'm inclined to think the former. I took the column as a plea to amend their Iraqi Constitution.

Right on. If the US can survive the outrage of its own home-grown terrorism in the form of the MSM, Democrat party, Marxist intellectuals and other members of the antimoral left, Iraq can survive similar idiocy.
