Those Poor Men

Within Douthat's "the real victims of the Iraq war are its primary architects" column, he does find one nut. I haven't seen the Green Zone and don't have any sense of whether his characterization of it is correct, but it is important to remember that it wasn't simply evil neocons who brought us this lovely little war, it was also our media-industrial complex generally and, as Douthat writes, the "swath of the liberal intelligentsia" who decided to "play Orwell."
