Fred Hiatt on the noble glories of occupation
The Washington Post editorialist says that mere airstrikes are bad because they result in civilian deaths, cause displacement and aid al-Qaida recruitment. Therefore, we should invade and occupy countries instead.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-05-03]

  • Am I am missing something?

    Glenn:Self-evidently, every problem that Hiatt argues is created by "mere" air strikes against other countries is magnified by many magnitudes by the types of invasions and long-term occupations which Hiatt cheers on for Iraq.

    Perhaps my ironimeter is not working today, but this statement appears to be merely well constructed and true. Since Hiatt knows what he is doing, he deserves so much worse.
