Sorry, blogging is light for a few days while I'm in Beantown for graduation and moving, but I read this story and couldn't help noticing that, while I still am unsure what success in Iraq would look like, what's happening in Fallujah is a damn good picture of what failure looks like. Anyone who wonders how Howard Dean could have said that we can't be sure just yet that Iraqis are better off without Saddam should consider these developments. Our worst nightmare:
"With U.S. Marines gone and central government authority virtually nonexistent, Fallujah resembles an Islamic mini-state - anyone caught selling alcohol is flogged and paraded in the city. Men are encouraged to grow beards and barbers are warned against giving 'Western' hair cuts."yeaaaaargh.
