The fact that the central government is finally asserting control over Basra is a bad thing, or that supposed Iranian pawns are fighting Tehran’s most favored agents in Iraq is cause for wailing and gnashing of teeth?
I suppose that’s one way of looking at it. It does happen to be the wrong way, however. Almost as though you are wedded to the “see, told you so” argument a temptation we all share in the punditry hobby, but one that undermines our credibility something fierce.

I just published a blog entry based on yours. Your point is that race relations before the civil rights era weren’t as awful as people think they were. I go even farther: the article you’ve cited proves that race relations were much saner and more harmonious in the 50s than today.

This is a great blog. Keep it up.
