If We're Ever To Prevent Ali's Nightmare

...the nightmare being that we do the insane, evil thing and pull out of Iraq, we're going to have to educate people on all the bilgewater they've swallowed about this conflict, its history, and its current status.

We might even be able to shake people like Ali out of their delusions. There's hope, anyway.

We should have this wiki up very very soon. Stay tuned.

Well, you guys did a real good job of making them uninterested.

Guess we've got our work cut out for us. I only wish we'd started sooner. Silly me, I thought we already had with the blogosphere, but we got steamrolled by Kos and Huff.

This is going to be a part of the historical record no matter what happens. Even if we pull out of Iraq tomorrow.

You folks have gone in a vacuum. You really thought we were all shallow and stupid and couldn't hear you or were too busy worshipping Chimpy McSmirk. We weren't (not most of us, anyway). And we won't be silent.

Good on'ya, Dean. And you're right: it's long overdue that someone created this.

Commenting on Dean's World is a privilege, not a right. Dean is your host, you are his guest, and you should behave in that fashion. Dean is not your babysitter, nor is he your punching bag. Please remember this. In general, you are free to disagree with anyone on any subject you wish, but abusive behavior will not be tolerated.

Of course we all lose our tempers now and then. Dean freely admits to being imperfect in this regard, which is why regulars to this establishment will generally be cut more slack than people who we don't know very well.

Still: behave like an adult, or go find somewhere else to play. Thanks.
