ace: first, i used hayek to talk about the management literature meme "leadership"---sheesh. suffice it to say that i think your approach methodologically so problematic that it hardly seems worth the effort to run out critiques of it. so we're back where we started.
do you actually know anything about the history of the anti-colonial wars in vietnam?
so far as your repeated demands for make-belief certainty concerning variables that are in flux---whatever.
there are real questions, however---i think it's a waste of time to bother trying to turn them onto the terrain of image control/war marketing.
i don't think it's a foregone conclusion that the endgame in libya will be military---there are reports today about italy attempting to work out an escape route for example. it's also not a foregone conclusion that the endgame will not be military. today the rebels move to just outside sirte. it's not clear what that will end up meaning. there's a lot of questions.
i doubt that a reassuring tidy bed-time tale will be told tonight that will allow conservatives who only rest easy thinking that Dad is taking care of that scary bad complexity.
dc: it can't be a positive development because it's not a republican who's running the show. obviously. everyone knows that conservatives are the only real americans.
