Marty Peretz Gets It!

There are a lot of issues on which I would disagree with Martin Peretz, but on one thing at least he is right on....

There are many reasonable, and even correct, reproofs that one may have for the conduct of the war. They are, to be sure, all retrospective. But one fault cannot be attributed to the U.S., and that is that we are on the wrong side. We are at war in a just cause, to protect the vulnerable masses of the country from the helter-skelter ideological and religious mass-murderers in their midst. Our enemies are not progressive peasants as was imagined three and four decades ago.

As I have often said, mistakes may have been made, but going to war in Iraq was definitely not one of them.

Way to go Marty!
