Entry: The Rise of the Post-paleos (a second look) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_rise_of_the_post_paleos_a_second_look#30778 Post contents: Note there is nothing in my comments that would suggest that I approve of the war in Iraq or that I wish to congratulate W and his neocon buds for unleashing it. What I am saying is that some good came out of it, namely the overthrow of a sadistic mass murderer who before his removal had killed thousands and perhaps tens of thousands of his countrymen. Moreover, the war has been carried on from our side with far, far less willful destructiveness than the US showed in any earlier war that it waged. I'm also skeptical about the numbers that are thrown around about "millions" fleeing from Iraq because of our presence. These figures invariably sound inflated and their users fail to take into account that most Iraqis would move here or to some other first-world country in a heart beat if they could.
