Note: I'm not going to bore you with the tedious excuses about my long absence from blogging, for all I know you haven't even noticed! I'll just jump right in...
Barack Obama has a great many wonderful qualities. He's smart, witty, quick on his feet, charismatic, self-effacing when it's appropriate, confident when it's appropriate, he even has some good things to say about healthcare and the economy. But where he and I still part ways is on the war in Iraq. In fact, whenever I get all giddy about the prospect of him winning (for mostly intangible reasons which I will outline in a a later post), the reality of his misguided-to-the-point-of-suicidal point of view on Iraq hits me like a clusterbomb.
Until now, I've never been able to articulate exactly why that is. I say until now because Michael Totten hadn't yet written this. Let's hope Obama reads it too. [Hat-tip Alois]
