A Canadian Warblogger apologizes for being wrong.

Mostly not. Just for underestimating how unprepared the Iraqi's are to be responsible for themselves.

He still thinks we were right to do it - and he thinks those who opposed the war and who also oppose the reconstruction are, well, a$$hats. My word that, not his, but I believe it encapsulates his attitude.

I like it. Of course, I also happen to agree with it - if I was not perhaps as optimistic pre-war about the eventual outcome vis-a-vis Iraqi society than he was. But in fairness - I have some experience with the Arabs he perhaps did not.

Like Jaeger - I supported and still support the effort, and I wish the Iraqis were a little more 'grown-up' about things. Oh well.

Jaeger's screed is here. Worth the read.

Hat tip to JMH for pointing it out.
