the persistance of that feature of the mythology that was the wolfowitz doctrone is amazing to me. it is about as accurate as the expectation that the americans would be greeted as liberators, marching up flower-strewn streets, that the war would be short and easy and pay for itself.....but it speaks to the "long view" in which messy things like reality are smoothed away
