I've read a really good extended
blog post this weekend, by Belle Waring of Crooked Timber and
John and Belle Have a Blog, entitled "Why I was So Totally Wrong About Iraq." She is open about her reasons, noble and otherwise, for having supported the war, and avoids the weird and inappropriate smugness of other converted warbloggers (I'm thinking of some people on Slate in particular).
It motivated me to go to the Salon archives and find this wild Camille Paglia interview from February 2002, in which, among other pronouncements, she calls the Columbia disaster a "stunning omen" warning the President away from his planned martial adventure in Iraq. Whatever you think of Paglia, the article seemed prophetic to me at the time, and now, of course, even more so.
Enjoy. </irony>
