Clear-eyed Krugman

trust paul krugman to lay it out in no uncertain terms... he's on my short list of heroes along with bill moyers, frank rich, and a few others i can't recall at the moment... :)

In effect, America has been taken hostage [in Iraq]. Nobody wants to take responsibility for the terrible scenes that will surely unfold if we leave. Nobody wants to tell the grieving parents of American soldiers that their children died in vain. And nobody wants to be accused - by an administration always ready to impugn other people's patriotism - of stabbing the troops in the back.
