The Problem In Iraq? You.

I haven’t had a chance to read Foreign Policy’s new cover story, but I’m looking forward to it.  The idea seems to be that You should be taking some blame for the debacle in Iraq, and not just passing on the blame to the president, the “neo-cons,” or others.  You are the problem.

I think there is probably something to this on the merits - more on that once I read the piece - but the basic premise resonates with me.  Ever since Time made You the person of the year, I’ve been waiting for someone to smack You down a peg or two.  With Your smug, internet-driven independence and Your Reality Television, You seem to think that Time was right.

Well, I’ve met You, or at least lots of You, and I’m really not impressed.  Frankly, You kind of disgust me most of the time.  I don’t know yet whether Foreign Policy is right that You are to blame for the war in Iraq, but I wouldn’t put it past You.  I do know that Time was wrong.

(But at least You’re not this guy)
