But with this intense Friedmanesque revisionism well underway -- whereby war cheerleaders like Friedman were Right and Good all along and it was only the incompetent Bush and Rumsfeld who ruined everything with their "bumbling" -- it seems increasingly likely that the opposite lesson will be learned.--GG
It's more than "increasingly likely that the opposite lesson will be learned" (if learned" is even in the vocabulary of people as dishonest as Friedman) by people such as Friedman and Fred Hiatt, but I'd like to hold out some hope that a majority of the human beings who populate America will be way ahead of those liars, and thus will have learned the lesson of the 'evil stupidity" of the "glorious prism" of "war" is not something that they would like to be party to again.
