A Rolling Meme Gathers No Facts

   Via [1]Glenn, [2]yet more evidence of the antiwar disconnect from
   reality, in an article on the Dems' inability to turn over Iraq to
   terrorists and militias:

     Force a showdown, in other words, and use any means necessary to
     get the bloodshed ended.

   After the events of the last year, does any serious person really
   think the withdrawal of American troops would lead to less bloodshed
   in Iraq? Of course, this is only Rolling Stone, which lately is a sort
   of glossy left-wing MewsMax, but I bet you could find a half-dozen
   calls for intervention in Darfur or elsewhere on precisely the
   opposite reasoning in the same magazine.

     But what exactly are these young idealists campaigning for?

   Indeed, that's precisely what they should be asking themselves.
   What really worries me is that these are the Obama supporters, and
   while I hold out a lot of hope that events on the ground and a general
   election campaign will force a significant moderation of his views on
   Iraq, his [3]current views and [4]advisers are [5]troubling.
   It's been over 30 years since we elected a peace-at-any-cost
   President, and we and the Iranians are still paying the price today.
   Let's hope Iraqis will not have to spend the next 30 years under the
   thumb of terrorists because we make the same mistake twice.
