A Broken Clock is Right Twice a Day

For once, Michael Rubin is right about something. Namely, the idea that we ought to be more solicitous of the will ofthe Iraqis in Iraq.

However, his last paragraph or so on de-Baathification sounds to me like he is once again projecting his views onto the Iraqis. I think that part of the goal of de-Baathification is to open up spots for Ahmed Chalabi's buddies, whom Mr. Rubin insists is the man most Iraqi Shiites see as representing their interests.

Oh, well, the article was nice for the first half, anyway.

That is all.
