SANCTIMONIOUS TRITENESS DEBUNKED, PART 4

Among supporters of the war in Iraq I doubt there's a single one who's "pro-war." No one wants war, no one likes war....

--right-wing academic David Gelertner at a Yale pro-war rally, 3/26/03

***

As for peace, [Moore] quotes an operative known only as "Jack" -- because he is still deeply involved in the search for Osama bin Laden, his full identity is withheld -- as he sits in as Kabul hotel bar: "'God, I hate it when a war ends,' Jack said quietly as he stared at his drink. His teary eyes glassed over from the booze."
