The Beginning of the End

I think I mean that in a positive way. Regardless of how one feels about the war, it’s hard not to be a bit relieved that it is almost over. After months of stressful waiting and vitriolic debate, it looks like the U.S. is going to invade Iraq this week. We can surely agree to hope and pray, if you do, that this invasion proves quick and expert. Afterwards, the U.S. will rework the shards of a shattered nation state, people everywhere will passionately hope for a lasting peace, and pundits will resign themselves to not knowing for sure how things would have turned out otherwise.

My favorite chemically imbalanced catblogger Kyle Hampton floats a theory as to why many domestic analysts dislike addressing foreign policy issues. Whether or not his explanation is exactly correct, he is surely right that those of us in domestic policy are particularly aching for an end to the endless showdown. For one thing, we will regain our audience for those issues we understand well!
