Deep breath. Before you get mad–I’ve gotten many of the e-mails already (very understandably), consider reading the piece. Mr. Lowry wrote an in-depth piece on “What Went Wrong?” in Iraq. You do not have to think that BUSH LIED! or that the world would be a better place with Saddam in power to acknowledge that things have not gone swimmingly in postwar Iraq, despite progress. Rich gives a long, thoughtful look, and it’s worth reading.

In this case, perhaps, don’t judge the magazine (completely) by it’s cover. Unless you are one of the lefties reading The Corner tonight. Then think we agree with you–and be tempted to read the article–and learn a little something!
