A troubled anniversary

Over at Atrios's they are looking back at today's anniversary. The day Collin Powell sold the war in Iraq. Remember the transcripts that had Iraqi's warning of the need to hide their weapons from America? Remember the photos of the weapons moving around? The yellow cake? The vial shook in the world's face? Hmm?

Well, plenty of us do. Some disbelieved from the start. Some of us were worried about if it was all true, but also troubled by the fact some many other sources were pointing to a lack of WMD's. We also watched people arguing against the WMD's being tarnished, accused of unfounded crimes, treason of thought, and generally shunned.

So drop by Atrios's and read some of the oldies, but goodies, from the wonderous times when American thought it could fly...over to Iraq knock out the government, set up anew government, and have the worlds dicatators and liberals collpase all at once and a new Age of Conservatism would rise for a 1,000 year reign of peace and family values (Christian, of course.).

Of this wasn't your mindset?


...Sure...
