To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Turning the Corner in Iraq
Wretchard over at the Belmont Club [new site url, check it out here] reviews recent reports out of Iraq to the effect that the Sunni insurgency is being marginalized [multiple posts, scroll down]. This has been apparent for some time to people who have followed events there closely, so what he reports is not really news. What has changed, however, is that this progressive marginalization has finally begun to filter into the MSM. That the NYT should feature a story on the decline of the "insurgency" is itself a major turning point.
