Nearly 50 years in east Alabama, a surname going back to Vikings invading Scotland, and finally too much religious fundamentalism coupled to reactionary radicalism motivates me. I'll share (rarely as of late) my ideas on politics, learning, ... My clan supposedly uses "Peace ... or War!" Maybe those genes compel me to join issue? (Propservralism = PRogressivism + pOPulism + conSERVatism + libeRAL + pragmatISM) Respectfully, John Gunn

Tip of the Tam to Thomas Ricks of WaPo and ...
I've long wanted to tackle Fiasco: The American Military Adventure in Iraq by Thomas Ricks of the WaPo yet I only finished the thing last night. Well done! Thomas Ricks remains one of the go to guys on the military and especially Iraq as demonstrated by this E&P piece and this NPR effort. His indictment of Bu$hCo and some of the military "leaders" is thorough and well written. "Fiasco" seems too kind. Peace ... or War!
