Two takes on the same site offer competing views of Iraq - Fred Kaplan and Christopher Hitchens.
I have to say that both pieces manage to articulate the divergence and conflict of my own thinking on the war - opposition, support, qualified support, qualified opposition, opposition. This variance no doubt reflects the uncertainty and instability of the conflict itself, its vexed and troubling inconsistencies. Now the country is balanced between the cost of occupation and the complexities of withdrawal, with bloodshed guaranteed either way. What happens next will require both the thoughtfulness and the nuance demonstrated by the gentlemen from Slate.
