Comments on: Should I stay http://www.chapatimystery.com/archives/imperial_watch/should_i_stay.html what is the vertiginous chapati saying to me? Sat, 11 Feb 2012 16:41:37 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Saurav http://www.chapatimystery.com/archives/imperial_watch/should_i_stay.html/comment-page-1#comment-4103 Saurav Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 http://www.chapatimystery.com/archives/uncategorized/should_i_stay#comment-4103 I had a similar post recently because I think the tide is turning both in the U.S. and in Iraq, and it's not going to look pretty when things are done. I haven't read the Juan Cole piece yet--perhaps that will make me feel better. I have the sense, though, that there is going to be a highly irresponsible conclusion to this entire highly irresponsible affair, and the people that are going to suffer the most will probably be the people in Iraq (as usual). That is, barring a regional war of some kind. Something about all this reminds me of the Balkan Wars preceding WWI, but I'm restricted to only what I know, so maybe it's a highly inept analogy--it strikes me as a little bit off.

Juan Cole's wife is Pakistani. He was on with Amy Goodman a couple of days ago. Completely irrelevant but… Juan Cole’s wife is Pakistani. He was on with Amy Goodman a couple of days ago.
