Eve of destruction. “…this war, like Bush’s larger ‘war on terrorism,’ has no clear definition of its aims, its scope or its foes — and that such a war has no end in sight and can have no victory.” [emphasis mine] Powerful words, and wise words. That’s the intellectual and the emotional turn that I think many of us who are against this war have made. It’s not a question of whether or not we’ll win – that’s a purely military question about something that isn’t a purely military issue. Those of us against this project know that there CAN be no ‘victory’ from all of this, at least not in any meaningful sense.
