    Josh Chafetz of the Oxblog sends us to an article written by Johns Hopkins University Professor Eliot Cohen.

    In it, Cohen is asked three questions, but it's the last that gives plangent context to the first two:
    You supported the Iraq war when it was launched in 2003. If you had known then what you know now, would you still have been in favor of it?
    You are a military historian; what does the history of war have to tell us about the future of Iraq?
    Your son is an infantry officer, shipping out soon for Iraq. How do you feel about that?
    You owe it to yourself to see how he answers.

    "Sign on, young man, and sail with me. The stature of our homeland is no more than the measure of ourselves. Our job is to keep her free. Our will is to keep the torch of freedom burning for all. To this solemn purpose we call on the young, the brave, the strong, and the free. Heed my call, Come to the sea. Come Sail with me." - John Paul Jones

    "Pardon him, Theodotus; he is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature" --George Bernard Shaw, "Ceasar and Cleopatra"

    "And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music."--Friederich Nietzsche
