Take a few minutes to read this interesting post by blogger Ken MacLeod. A self-described "ex-Trot," MacLeod lays out the leftist case FOR war (sounds amazingly similar to the current White House line, no?), then contrasts it with (an oversimplified but generally...
He obviously ignores David Frum's column, as revealed in this profile of antiwar.com. As Andrew Sullivan so charmingly puts it, the money quote: Although writer and editor Tom Englehardt, who runs the popular political blog TomDispatch.com, says he reads Antiwar.com...

Heartily recommends Aleksandar Jokic's "Iraq Is No Vietnam, But It May Be Poland" from "Today's Spotlight." Is Andrew really so ignorant of our critique of neoconservatism as to think that the Lenin comparison is new? If so, I suggest he start with Chad Nagle's "The...
