While I'd like to be wrong, I believe Josh is missing the message here. This is not Lawrence Kaplan admitting "the whole idea and concept and program was upside-down-wrong in its essence." This is Kaplan saying the only option is to exterminate the brutes.
I'd like to be wrong, but Kaplan's recently been mocking Democratic desires to withdraw. So, staying doesn't help. Withdrawing is a silly idea. The other alternative is?
