Rod Dreher, a former National Review champion of the war, explains that the colossal failure of the Iraq War has “shattered his illusions” about government.
Among his reflections:
I no longer implicitly trust governmental institutions, including the military — neither in their honesty nor their competence.
I no longer have confidence in the ability of our military, or any military, to solve deep cultural and civilizational problems through force alone.
Thanks to Lew Rockwell.
