    enbar

    POPS    Daniel Lazare reviews two new books on religious toleration
    enbar
    by enbar  3-5-2008   
     I basically am clipping this because I read it and want to remember it, but I think Lazare gets it completely wrong. Not only is his attitude towards religion in general misguided, he doesn't understand history.

    POPS    Learning from history: the British pullout from Iraq, 1932
    enbar
    by enbar  6-9-2007    3
     Maj. Joel Rayburn, a historian and officer now posted to CENTCOM, writes about the dangers of a too-hasty exit from Iraq, drawing on the British experience post-WWI. I need to read this more carefully, but it seems his ideas present a pretty strong rebuke to both Republican and Democratic positions on the war right now. He says: a purely military approach, which is what the administration is pushing (though they claim not to be) will probably make things worse, but leaving now would probably be just as bad. From Foreign Affairs; a cached version.
