		<description>Why "weak," datarat?  The point Balko makes is very reasonable, that media and think-tank elites ascribe foreign hatred of America to everything under the sun except the most obvious reason: that our foreign policy is often irrational, invasive, and unfair.

		<description>This is not unique to you, Mr. Balko, so please don't take this as a personal attack.  

I came down the other way on the war, but I still listen to intelligent criticism of the war and the Bush administration's foreign policy.  Or even what I think policy should be.  I don't have any illusion that some divine force revealed the best available course for American foreign policy and that I heard it.  I worry a lot about it all going to hell with nothing to show but more corpses and terror.

Why have people, such as yourself, who've agonized over the issue of the Iraqi war and who've "reluctantly" come down against it, turned to uniform, endlessly confident, and unremitting condemnation of that policy and anyone who disagrees with you?  Especially to the point of snarking nonsensically at a bit of humor on another site.

I guess I'm asking, where's the doubt?  Where's the worry that we might &lt;i&gt;need&lt;/i&gt; to act militarily?  How have you come from a grudging disapproval to reflexive opposition?</description>

But, if you absolutely have to use someone else's satire to make an irrelevant point, by all means do so.</description>
