Dear Neocons:
You say the wars are one in the same, and you say we're winning. Here's why they're not, and here's why we're not winning.
When Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki addressed Congress last month, he declared Iraq to be on "the front line" of the war on terror, and proclaimed Iraqis to be America's "allies in the war on terror." But he also pointedly failed to condemn Hezbollah terrorism — or, it seems safe to presume, to consider Hezbollah a terrorist group. Can the United States and Mr. al-Maliki really be talking about the same "terror" war?
Neo-cons never ask such a question, maybe because it leads to this one: Does propping up in Iraq what amounts to a proto-Shariah state that is reflexively anti-Israel if not reflexively pro-Hezbollah constitute victory in the "war on terror"? Call me crazy, but I don't think so.
