Neo-Neocon, one of the smartest ex-liberals out there, has a very nice essay on why the opposition to this war is so strident and impervious to reason. Read it and be informed. Then, follow her links to other, equally impressive and throughtful remarks.

She promises a followup. I hope it comes soon.

There aren't very many bloggers out there I'd actually like to meet in person, but she's one of them.

Read it here.

Hat tip: Instapundit [another one I'd like to meet someday -- preferably wandering through the stacks of a good sci-fi bookstore].
